<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jean,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree. Let's keep in mind the basis of our
needs today.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are two major corporate theories re.
dissemination of information: Bubble Up and Trickle Down. We need to
concentrate our thinking on Bubble Up (let the ideas flow up from the members to
the Board and eliminate the feeling that direction, i.e. control, trickles down
from the top to characterize control. Emphasis is always on the member;
the squadron. Read the bylaws and notice the limited responsibilities of
the district.</FONT></DIV>
