President’s Corner

To:
MROS Members
Thanks for allowing me to serve
as your President for the next two years.
I have a number of sweeping changes that I would like to make, and I hope
that, after what will likely be a great deal of discussion, we can adopt some
measures that will make our organization even stronger. I will be unveiling those in the coming
weeks, so check the website often. I
would also like to thank all those who responded to my request of those wishing
to serve MROS in some sort of capacity.
Remember what I said on
election night about membership meetings: Be positive. Many have said to me that they think
attendance has been down due to the negativity that continued almost all of
last year. If you don’t like something,
think of a solution, don’t just complain about it. The plan for this year is to continue to have
the business portion of the meeting first, lasting 15 – 20 minutes, then have two 30-minute (maximum) sessions on rules and
mechanics. The business portion will consist of items that relate to
current and future events that effect MROS. This includes committee
reports and important information from our Commissioner. The Training Committee
will handle the rules and mechanics portion of the meeting. If you have
ideas or suggestions that you would like to present to the membership, please
discuss these with your Member-At-Large (M-A-L) prior to our meetings. This
allows the executive committee time to analyze the items and make
recommendations. This procedure will also allow our business meetings to
be short and to the point as opposed to the long, drawn out discussions of the
past. The majority of our members want to attend, conduct business and training,
and then adjourn. Again it is most
important that you use your M-A-L as a sounding board, as this will speed the
progress of changes and suggestions for MROS.
A new Committee List will be
published very soon. If you have changed your mind about participating, or want
to serve MROS in any way, please contact me or a board member ASAP. The
board will consider your request and I will make the selection using their
input.
Let’s work together to continue
to KEEP MROS the best organization in
the state.
Bill Harrison
President
