[QUOTE="John B, post: 6407, member: 207"] When I stood for the board a couple of years ago I did so because I believe I have a huge depth of knowledge of both AFB and probably more importantly beekeepers that have AFB. At the time I got the impression that they were more interested in people with governance experience. Governance is not one of my strong points. Governance is important but I don't believe every member of the board needs this skill. I was disappointed not be selected. I didn't want to make any radical changes to how the AFB PMS is run but I am deeply interested in implementing new science into the program and also auditing how things are done especially at the practical coal face level. In retrospect I think they probably made the right decision picking someone else and I don't think I will put my name forward again. As I have said before I have no problem with the way things are being run at the moment, they could be run differently and they could be run more democratically. Whether they would be run any better would be debatable but I would still prefer the Democratic route. My main submission on changes to the AFB PMS was that they find themselves a sensible name that people can actually remember. [/QUOTE]
