Hey there thread stealers!
If Sandlanders can sneak a post in. I will also. No West Bend for me as other family plans interfere.

As a past director, I had brought this term change to the board for consideration. Having served on other boards for different oganizations, the term makes a large impact on what a director is able to accomplish during said term. It has been mentioned that the first year is a learning year and is a time to get your feet wet and to find your niche in the group. While some find their niche quickly, others may need that entire year to get comfortable. The following year/s allow the director to make an impact on our organization.
May there be those whose situations change during their terms, sure, but as Jim mentioned, the bylaws account for filling vacancies.
As the sport changes, it is even more important the WGA stays afloat. Having served as an election official, I have seen years when we have had an abundance of members willing to run for a director’s seat and years of hoping that we had at least one more nominee than seats available. Sadly, what I have seen is some who have been members for many years, have no desire to serve. Hopefully, this has changed a bit in the past few years with new cachers finding the WGA. That being said, all the arguments that have been made on both sides of the term question are still valid.
Will members commit to three years?
Will fewer open seats allow better continuity year to year?
Will fewer seats produce a higher interest in running?

Having looked at this before, the one thing that will take two to three years to institute is getting all directors on three year terms. How you get there is the difficult part.
The biggest problem the way it is with two year terms is the 4 or 5 seats available for turnover each year. I know we have had directors run for additional terms because of a desire to maintain continuity where a 50% turnover could be detrimental to the group.

I was pretty sure HQ didn’t allow virtuals to be adopted out but, maybe an edit on the page to send the info to the “adoptee” and the “adoptee” put a watch on the cache would allow this to be passed on behind the scenes. although, there would be no way to remove bogus logs unless, the dialogue stated that they must wait for the okay to log the find. (of course those who post bogus logs don’t really play be any rules).
