>Now he has an even more powerful voting position than he had as President

If the no-vote resolution was defeated.

I've heard a rumour - which would require substantiation - that the President does have a vote but traditionally has never exercised that right. Should that be so then I very much hope that Claude will break with that tradition when needed.

AGM is over...dead silence through the land...as predicted... see ya next year

Another case of "keep quiet, maybe it will go away"?

Past President no longer has a vote, the resolution was accepted. A third member at large will be voted on in the future.

Keep in mind, the Executive Committee members are the do'ers not the decision makers!

Seems like with MAAC there are six sides to everything. Anyway if its back to business spending as little as possible and accomplishing as much as possible in relative harmony, then I am in.
Good point about doers versus decision making. Exactly right.

>Past President no longer has a vote

That's one positive thing.

Apparently the supposed life membership is a non-issue. I've been under the impression that such was an automatic recognition to a retiring President for services rendered but apparently this isn't so; it has to be approved by MAAC officers. I've had sort of 3rd-hand information that the matter was not raised this year as the previous President did not complete his full term.

AGM was very positive, best I attended yet.

Wilf, the history of MAAC is long and envolved! All of the events that MAAC has overcome are worthwhile if the future benefits from it. The guidance we received at this past AGM will be supported for many years.

History is written by the winners! M R facts!
