Hey, everyone. I'm really sorry to post something that has the
potential
to really stir things up.
<snip>
Hi Billie and PAGen Team,
I worked with Nancy Trice as part of the GenConnect team earlier this year
and found her to be a very fair, open minded, and kind person. She has a
strong personality and is not afraid to speak her own mind. I am sure that
she will do a fine job as NC (a position that no one with any good sense
would want <vbg!>).
I served with Megan Zurawizc during the 1997-1998 year as SC for MD and
found Megan to also be a very kind, responsive and fair person. I know that
she took alot of flak for decisions made by her and the board (founded or
grounded - I do not know). She was frequently blasted for every major and
minor fault in the program and she kept her smile and wits about her (at
least to the SC troops).
I believe that the NC position automatically comes with a big bullseye on
one's back as soon as they step into the role. It is inevitable that there
will always be folks who disagree on everything - no matter how trivial.
As far as the USGW-all list - I find it hard to believe that there are folks
still subscribed to that rag (sorry to the folks who enjoy it - just my two
cents). I know that it is supposed to be for open communication among USGW
volunteers but in the life span of that list I have more seen vicious fights
than open dialog. I unsubbed eons ago (got my reports through several brave
folks who chose to stay subbed).
I think it would be nice to drop Nancy Trice a note of support - it is
difficult stepping in to a new position and I am sure she would appreciate
everyone's nod of appreciation.
May I ask a rather dumb question - who is our elected representative? I
voted no on the by-laws (as everyone is aware) and paid little attention to
the run for representatives (I am glad someone wanted to do that but....oh
well, no need to go through my beliefs again).
Thanks for passing this on to us and I appreciate your desire to keep us all
informed.
