I , for one, am not interested, as a member of
GREN, in chasing around the Continent or the
Planet looking for environmental causes. I have
been more than satisfied with John and I would be satisfied
with Kevin Have you asked Kevin if he’s willing to accept
this position????? I’m getting too old to go after anything
except local and Regional concerns for the most part....but let the
others have their input if they are interested in expressing an
opinion.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Kevin’s
a pretty busy fellow and travelling a lot.
It may be too much of a burden with his schedule.. ...unless
they would be co-chairs. (yes, it worked at RIM for
awhile.) When you start changing these things ,
eventually the whole picture dies . I’ve been associated
with this type of situation before. John
could chair one meeting and Kevin (IF he is willing) could chair
the next meeting....or they could both sit up at the front and co-chair when
both are available. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

may be speaking out of turn but I imagine we have to get input from the
members so I might as well be the first one to state my opinion
which is currently where I stand with your suggestion. Thanks
for hearing me out. Let the opinions begin !!!

<P class=MsoNormal>The current infrequent meetings and the related lack of any
significant inspired local (i.e. Grand River Bioregion) action by GREN itself
-- compared to what needs to be done as the Planet exponentially dies -- is
undermining GREN's viability as indicated by the attendant loss of active
members. Perhaps we need a more dynamic leader such as Vice Chair Kevin
Thomason? You have served us well John since our beginning -- and have done
very commendable environmental work in Southern Ontario over many years -- but
now may be the time to graciously become Chair Emeritus.
