I think a non-local could very easily take over as LA. It is not that I do not want to continue as LA, but I think it is time for a change and new Listers should be brought onto to the board to give it another insight. The LA is one way for all Listers to participate with all ongoings of TIGS. I would be happy to assist Brad with the LA. I could continue as assistant LA and since I attend most meetings, could be his proxy. As stated in the TIGS Charter: 5. All officers must be dues paying members of TIGS and be able to attend meetings in Troy. This could be done through proxy until the charter can be change which may take a couple of months. Lizette
