    Default Some Good Ideas Here, But Should We Let Them Vote???

    You get Ray, and Bill Van in there....I mean, should they be allowed to vote? I think we could let them on the Board, but let them VOTE????

    What do our By-Laws say? Or do I, as President just get to do what I want?

    Default What Would John Riner Woods Do?

    Considering John Riner Woods was the founder of the National Pepper Association, probably we should ask ourselves, "What would Johnny Woods do?"

    I was thinking that we really need an Educational Director. Most American don't know they are supposed to unscrew the lid of a paper shaker to spread pepper on their food. An Educational Director, should have a Board seat, but no voting rights.

    In my opinion only the Board of Directors get the vote, and in that scenario, I am presuming the President, Vice-President and CFO would be on the BOD. That does not mean Joe could not be on the board, only that he would be nominated and elected to that position also, and which I would recommend. As a city council member in Stafford, Texas he was able to use federal grants to get a first class concert hall designed by an architect recommended by Marshall Grant. Musical artists coming to Houston select that as their primary venue.

    I would say you Ron, as President, do what you want. You knew Johnny Woods better than us, but I get the idea that he would agree with being firm and taking it in the direction you want.

    So I would agree that an Educational Director could be good, and an inspector and public commentator are good, but they do not always need a seat at the board. If you do want them on the board, but no voting rights....so be it! I would just suggest though that if you get an Educational Director it should be someone promoted from the field that has personal experience with peppers, and not an academic that has studied theories about peppers and has tenure and celebrity at a university campus.

    Alan Ishii.....Chief Financial Officer.

    Educational Officer. I figured since you thought it might be good......just do a Bill Frances move and proclaim who you want in that position.

    I see a couple of my friends are reading this post with me this morning and while we are not "members" I think I speak for the 3 of us, your slate of officers far outclasses what we have in D.C.
