[SBU Board] Fwd: Important Letter About ACBL

[Karen Hudesman]

I think that is a great idea to ask Julie if the facts are correct in the letter. Then I would be in favor of a joint response if feasible. 
Thank you
Karen

If we want to create a joint response or statement as a board to send to Julie Smith (our representative to the BOD), I could set up a quick ad hoc meeting for that purpose and/or compose a draft depending on what we agree are the points to emphasize.  However, as I expect we will have a range of opinions, I am also okay with any board member individually sending Julie their thoughts on these matters so long as you make clear you are speaking as a unit board member and that you are not speaking for the board as a whole.
