Colleagues:
Now that is getting down to the wire, it appears that there is some
dissension amongst the leadership of our groups. These have been the
subtlest of hints in correspondence.
One of the questions that I have been asking myself for months is that
since there are obvious opposing viewpoints regarding the consolidation issue
among the constituents of these organizations, why aren't some of these
differences being represented publicly by at least some board members? If
these elected officials were put into office by the membership, did we miss
the mark so much that we do not have a single board member who is a
representative of the valid concerns of the practitioners who are opposed to
this
consolidation movement, or have they been railroaded into taking the company
line? Even in federal and local politics there are opposing view points
among the leadership...why haven't we seen any true representation among by
elected officials?
This is a general question, but I would appreciate an open discussion of the
issue.
