Once again I will not name names, but the one or two on the Board whose 
purpose was more to tear down than to build up more or less ruined 
things. Also there was the fact that the only thing that really united 
the group was a dislike of the then-current administration. I really 
believe that some of their suggestions would have been adopted had they 
been worded more reasonably.

One reaction of the TSA Board which, as a supporter of the Board, I 
personally found very distasteful was the redistricting. Essentially, it 
guaranteed that candidates for Board who were not supported by the 
current Board would find it almost impossible to let their views be 
known among the membership. I suspect a plan I was pushing, to have 
Federations create regional speaker plans not unlike National's National 
Speakers had something to do with it, as it would allow people to get 
regionally known without the direct control of National. However, I was 
unable to generate interest in my idea, anyway.
