Obviously my opinion of how member based organizations and BOD's work differs from yours.
If you are happy to let the BOD act "in your best interest" as it were, without voiceing your opinions, then so be it. I am not.
Heather,
That is not what I was saying nor is it my opinion. That is simply how I understand the CDS operates and
I don't agree with it either.
So since I don't want the CDS making decisions for me, I "choose" not to be a member and support this ativity.
If you want the CDS to be a membership based organization as you described it there would have to be major changes in the by-laws and constitution. The way it is now the Board of Directors makes all of the decisions and the only right that the members have is to vote for the BoD.
Good luck with your endeavors. I really do hope it works out. Please let the rest of us non-members know if the BoD actually listens to you. If they do I would consider being a member again (but very unlikely).
