I’m not interested in running for the board because there isn’t evidence that there is room for fresh perspectives or reform. However, I am concerned that half of the board continue to act in official capacity when their terms have expired. Since the pandemic is not going to ease up any time soon, and virtual, synchronous meetings are real meetings, the annual meeting needs to be held ASAP via online conference. There is no excuse to continue holding official board meetings but not schedule the annual member meeting.
