Name Badges

[charles33813]

Bill,

Thanks for your advice directing me to get a replacement badge at club expense for a board member.

You state you talked to the president and he approved this particular replacement.   I am not aware of anything in club documents that provide special privileges and perks for board members and recognize that this apparent decision applies to all members.  Over the past three years probably some 30 to 40 replacement badges have been issued at member expense.  Apparently these members are now to be reimbursed.  

This certainly puts me in a very embarrassing position if we pursue this course of action.   I tried to tell you this Monday night but that communication obviously failed.

While a board member some three years ago I proposed and the board approved issuing a name badge to each member.   I do not recall any proposal involving lifetime warranties, free replacements nor any other act of fiscal irresponsibility.   Possibly some future board action did provide for such free replacements.   I would like to receive a copy of such board action, if any.

Why you became involved in this perturbs me.  I have always tried to maintain an open-door policy where common members as well as the chosen can come directly to me and not have to go through the Secretary. 

Until I receive advice affirming board action, I will continue to follow past practices.

Respectfully,

Charley, KI4CRI
