I also think that from a purely democratic standpoint elections must be membership wide not just those that attend the annual mtg. I think that those who do get elected need to be dedicated to the organization; in most organizations those that are very active are generally rewarded by the whole membership with elected positions. What I'm saying is that you might not notice a change in leadership with open elections but at least all would feel that they participated. Ernie Nitka
