Mike,
With utmost respect, I disagree with your reply to Ron Kidd. Your
statement of removing your board hat being virtually impossible is
just not correct. Being able to remove your board hat is just what
keeps this country going, and advancing. If every Senator and /or
Congressman agreed with the President at every turn in the road - Oh yea
, that's what I want. If every City Councilman agreed with every Mayor
in every city - Oh yea, I want that too. In all respect, pardon me, but
your fiduciary responsibility is to the members of an organization that
ELECTED you to that position. It is your responsibility to voice your
opinion, after all, Why were you elected? To agree with the majority
or what was fashionable? I think not. You were elected because the
masses had faith in you to represent them and their concerns. We felt
your opinions were, (and still are), important.
Please don't misunderstand my comments. I admire each and everyone of
you for DONATING your time, and the sacrifices that each of you make to
represent the 'masses'. (I don't know if I have that kind of
conviction). But I really believe part of your role is to 'help shape'
the decisions of the 'masses', by telling us what you really believe is
best for the profession.
By the way Mike, What are your 'true' feelings on consolidation, and
the advancement of the Profession?
Respectfully yours,
E. Reed Coleman, C.P.
