3 years ago, I became a member of a BOD representing about 30 different companies, a member of an Advisory Committee representing 23 different companies, and a member of an Agriculture Committee. I was by far the youngest at 32 of all 3 organizations but I was appalled by kinships and brotherhoods aligned by the "old school" members. Nobody across the entire spectrum wanted to do shit but talk and bicker. I will never forget my first board meeting where my buddy/mentor said to another board member " You can take that comment and shove it up your ass." (try repeating that in the minutes) At the end of the meeting they struck to vote me President of the Board, which I declined. (It was my first BOD meeting ever.) Since then I have been known as the guy who gets things done by some members of the board but still to this day, the old schoolers talk and bicker but do nothing and add minimal.
Why the commentary?
We have BOD members that need to go and someone put in place that will get things done. If management feels they cant live without those board members than they can hire them as a consultant or create a position for them. Personally I am voting NO across the board for the Proxy.
