[amsat-bb] It's here!

A ten minute meeting to vote on taking out a loan is not really the kind of board meetings the membership desires. I think the vast majority of members would want the Board to meet on a regular basis to conduct the business of the organization. That has certainly NOT happened. If they had happened, there would be published minutes. As an Officer of the organization, you know that regular Board meeting have NOT occurred. To say otherwise is a lie. This is one thing on the platform that several of us are using in our campaigns. Vote for me, I’ll join others and call for meetings and provide oversight. I will even attempt to have the bylaws changed so we can have proper electronic voting. I can’t help but wonder why this hasn’t happened before now.  I will not rubber stamp items and will provide transparency to the membership.
