Dear Rosa and all,
Thank you for all the good work you have done. Too bad your
inter-regional insight is leaving the BoT with you...
I for one will be disappointed but not surprised, if we end having yet
another European BoT-member in the coming election.
I have nothing against Europeans (being one myself), but IMO we need
people from the other regions too.
I submit that chapters should have six seats in the BoT, two selected
each year for a three year term. Furthermore, the two should be from
different regions. I believe this would bring regional balance and give
chapters (and through them, the individual members) more weight.
This is just a suggestion made by an individual global member, but I
would like to hear your reactions.
Best,
Tommi
