The way that reads, if you have held a membership for at least 1 year you are eligible for office. It does not specify a consistently held paid membership, only a minimum of 1 year.

Not trying to stir the pot at all, this may be something the current or future BOD may want to re-word to make more clear.
 
I certainly appreciate that there are enough people willing to discuss a hard topic like this. The timing is not good though to be sure.

For me personally.. 'Younger' guys has nothing to do with age. It has to do with time you have been here.
 
Oh. I don't feel I am fit for a vp or pres job.

K "getting my foot in the door" man

I'd like to echo this. Maybe one day id be fit for one of those positions. Until then if a director position happens to open up....

Polar "hint hint" jeep.
 
I would run, but I don't think I could get the votes...

You never know until you try. What happens you don't get it and you're still here doing silly jeep stuff. Unless you're the type that gets real sad when you lose.
 
Exactly. You never know what's gonna happen until you try. That's always been some of my biggest regrets is not trying at certain things. Live and learn I guess
