Re: Motion for Strategic Planning Committee

[Paul W Gossett <pwgossett@juno.com>]

We have had some great comments concerning this subject.  I agree with
Brad and Jim that the committee should be a standing committee after the
ad hoc committee has defined the purpose and function of the committee. 
I think the committee should be made up of not only some board members
but also some people that are not on the board.  My 2 cents.
