[QUOTE="John B, post: 10436, member: 207"] All they have to do is get the support of the people who are paid to judge if they are the most suitable candidates for the job or not. The problem I have with the system is the criteria for who is most suitable. They are not elected in any sense of the word no matter how broadly you interpret it. The criteria for selection at the moment is mainly based on how good someone would be in a governance role which is probably why I wasn't selected when I stood for the board a few years ago. I am much more interested in the practical getting rid of AFB side. When it comes to eliminating AFB you do need a competently run organisation and I think we basically have that but you also need people that understand the science behind it and also the psychology of just why beekeepers won't, don't or can't get rid of their AFB. Because of the way board members are selected we have a situation which is taxation without representation and that should be an anathema to all of us. [/QUOTE]
