Let me apologize if you have asked me something and I didn't get back to you,since the funeral I have had house guests but they are gone now so I should be back up to speed now,you may want to resend any questions/comments that I haven't replied to.While I am on the subject,THANKS to everyone for the condolence messages. Now for the news. As you know the board has been working on a set of by-laws,we have had a few good suggestions to reword them and plan to have a new version online soon. Also there is going to be an election soon,remember,we will be electing board members ONLY.they are referred to as SC and CC which makes it look like we mean State and County coordinators,NOT TRUE,they are board members only.The only ones that can elect a State coordinator is the County coordinators of that state.We here in Indiana are in the Northeast/North Central Region and if you would like to run for a seat on the board as a CC rep, then by all means put together a short history of your involvement with the USGENWEB project,your name and your region we plan on putting a web page up soon where you can submit this info. Which brings me to ask if we need to think about a Indiana election for SC in the near future? I don't feel right thinking none of you have a chance to become the SC so I think we need to work on some election plans,perhaps hold an election by the end of the year.Let me know your thoughts on this. One more thing,I don't support this but some of you may want to be involved.There is a award being given out ,we are in the South / Midwest Region.You can nominate your or another County by sending it to; Roger Swafford gizmo@wcic.cioe.com Sorry for the long message but I needed to try to get caught up.
