I just wanted to state that I do not see any of the achievements of our association as personal achievements of any individual board members. We achieved these things as a group.
A lot of our success from 3 years ago are based on TFMS. Our COO at the time had the vision to explore software solutions that would transform the way we were doing business. The board had the courage to empower his vision - and the result was that we were able to finally work through the backlog which had accumulated over several years.
There's only so much that any board member as an individual can influence. What I can promise is that I will be open for constructive feedback and dialog. The President is responsible for setting the agenda. Personally, I would like to cut back on Executive Session time a lot - I hope that the President you elect will be open to that.
