Well, if they want us to use the forum, they should make it easy. Put out
the announcements on how to use it. Put them out again. Recruit five people
who will post an issue from the executive committee. Request responses. Have
messages from the president.
Have each person on the exec committee introduce him/herself and what
s/he wants to talk about, do, and get feedback about. What subcommittee
responsibilities do they take on.
See if you can recruit five people with whom you've had good tele to
join you in this project. Better, ten or fifteen.
Do we know who the exec council is, their old and new subcommittee
assignments, if any have changed; their email addresses? That would be good.
Sue Barnum is moving or has moved to New Mexico. A loss for Texas. Has she
changed her email addrress yet?
Have Mike Traynor and our new president and others get involved in
promoting involvements.
Then let's see how much momentum it gains, or if it peters out.
What do you think about that?
Warmly, Adam
