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-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> 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><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I 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 !!!

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. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Robert<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 22-Jul-12, at 5:37 PM, John Jackson wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The next GREN meeting will be held on Wednesday October 17 at 7:15 pm.<br><br>Please reserve this date in your calendars now.
