  1. Just in the short time since I posted this info on Facebook, I have been contacted by:
    Abbie Spielman '82
    Gil Obler '82
    and JD Eveland '64
    to add their names. I'm not sure what Abbie's work as an alumna has been other than that she is very involved in general in Portland and in specific with Westwind! I don't know what Gil has done formally. JD is on the Southern California Chapter Steering Committee.

  2. Abbie and I were also both Reunions Committee members. (I think I was Chair, but I'm not sure.)

  3. And I'm Elizabeth Jerison Terry '82 - for some reason, my comments have been registered as "unknown."

  5. If, after reading the Statement of Opposition, you wish to become a co-signer, contact any of the authors. Our email addresses are available on IRIS.

  6. I won't be voting for these changes. To me, limiting input from your alumnae is limiting your access to their valuable insights AND their support. This seems a very short-sighted proposal designed to "streamline" decisions which is the trend these days in college administration. Unfortunately, this trend also results in poorly researched and ill-considered decisions. I would urge the Board to reconsider and withdraw this proposal.

    1. This is Marnie Allbritten, '72, by the way. I seem to have posted this hastily, which makes my point. I left out an important detail. 😊

  8. I haven't seen an argument for and am trying to imagine one. 23 Nominating Committee selections and 9 regional chairs. 32 is seen as unwieldy, 26 just right, except to Friederike, who wants somewhere between 27 and 31. Could it be made more wieldy by reducing the Nominating Committee selection to, say, 17? Is the issue that some regional chairs are not active, though I'm sure the one I know is? Unless the quorum is over 23 this doesn't seem significant. If there were 9 NC selections and 23 regional reps this could make sense, but it seems the wrong solution to a problem as yet uncommunicated. Count me as a No vote.

  9. It would be nice if we could edit our comments instead of deleting them and posting the version with typos fixed :-).

  10. Is have a feeling we're not being given the real reason. It sounds like the Board is unhappy with actions of the chapter chairs and wants to lessen their influence. If that's the case, I wish the chapter chairs would weigh in on what they think the real issue might be.

    I am Kelly Pomeroy,'61, and as a resident of the Big Island of Hawaii, pretty much removed from this all. I organized a get-together of alumni on this island some years ago, but I don't know of any activity here since then.

  11. The closest to regular english is, I think, Marnie's comment from 12/20/18.
    In plain english, what are the proposals?
