Changes proposed below
ARTICAL 1 =============================================
section 3 under officer positions, who are the regional reps as specified?
Note – here were are just looking for clarification on what does it mean – regional rep
Does “Regional Position” mean that this person should live out of the area where most of the meetings are held? For example – Len Chrysler or Dave Schroder when he’s living in Washington or perhaps Eric leaky who lives in Texas.
I think it means just that – the person lives out of the area.
Could it mean that this “regional position” should be held by a person that can represent a portion of the country, like Eric Leaky representing Texas the the surrounding states?
If so shouldn’t we have representatives on the board that represent every area or groups of states?
I think this line should be dropped and all the representatives should be active on the board, no matter were they live. All in the same town or state or anywhere in the country as long as they are active as a board member.
The main reason is that almost 100% of discussion between board members is through email or a blog like you are on now.
As for the reps, we should say unofficaly but not list them just refer to them as the area in that they reside in for questions about rotorcraft.
