MINUTES OF USGENWEB PROJECT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING
The Advisory Board of the USGenWeb Project met in emergency session on
Monday, December 21, 1998, at 7:00 PM (CST). This meeting was called
because Bob Bamford, Acting National Coordinator has submitted his
resignation:
"Genealogy is a hobby, we all enjoy the research, the contacts, the
comradery and the thrill of the search. All of us, as a part of that
hobby, volunteer in various genealogical and historical organizations,
to both further our knowledge of the hobby and make a contribution to
its furtherance. It can be fun and rewarding but unlike the work we do
to gain our livelihood it provides no remuneration save that of having
made a contribution.
"When this volunteerism reaches a point that it is no longer
rewarding, no longer provides satisfaction, but instead becomes a
burden, it is time to disassociate yourself from those organizations
that no longer provide any benefit.
"I therefore submit my, unequivocal, resignation from all positions in
the national USGenWeb organization, effective immediately, and direct
said organization to immediately remove my name and e-mail address
from all national pages. I will be unsubbing from all national mailing
lists, immediately upon confirmation that this message has been
received."
A quorum being present, Kay Mason, acting as temporary chair, called
the meeting to order. Jan Craven moved to accept Bob Bamford's
resignation. Kathy Heidel seconded. Voting is recorded as follows:
<Jan> aye <Ginger> Aye <Beth> aye <Kathy> aye <Kim> aye
