why can’t a person just send the note to all BOD members at once?
No one was ever stopped from doing that. We all have email addresses listed on the Board of Directors page of the website. It simply required writing nine email addresses in the “to” line and one could have made their own email alias if they desired.
I’m glad that greyhounder has taken on such an active role in the WGA…not just the BOD, but the WGA as a whole!
I’m glad, too. I really enjoy working with Bec and am glad she joined the bod.
…who holds a full-time job, is a volunteer BOD member, plans events, travels to events, and…unlike many others…is actually out there on the trails! ON A REGULAR BASIS!!!
As far as I know, all the bod fit the that description except for the “out there on the trails” part since I have no way of knowing if everyone has regular time for geocaching. I don’t know how anyone would know that without talking to them personally. Also, if life’s priorities forces someone to put *finding* geocaches on the back-burner, I don’t see how that makes them less of an active volunteer for the WGA.
Ignoring things until they settle down is…(censored)
I guess we disagree on that.

“Back to the subject, as Jeremy stated, please send us your concern/issue. If there is a bod that you know personally, you could send your email to that person and perhaps speak more comfortably. They could then paraphrase and pass on your concern.”
This is one of the things I was talking about. One BOD member reads something, they take from it what they deem important and relay that to the rest of the BOD. They paraphrase…was something lost in the translation? Was something taken out of context in the paraphrase? Was there a point that was missed by that one person, that someone else may have seen? Was the original concern actually passed on? Why paraphrase? Why not just let everyone see the original note and let everyone reply?
I don’t forward entire emails without the permission of the sender. I suggested writing to one bod if the member was more comfortable doing so. If the member wanted all to see the email, they could send it to all.
