For Vice Chair... DemMedic Jan 2025 #26

I think David is amazing. He did the March for your Lives and tried to get better gun control. TommieMommy Jan 2025 #28

No way. Someone with relevant experience needs to be in that role. Have him in a junior role to learn. themaguffin Jan 2025 #29

He IS running for a junior role, as vice chair, not as chair.. wnylib Jan 2025 #45

No a sunior role, not a "chair" role. themaguffin Jan 2025 #53

What I know is that vice chair is below the rank of chair. wnylib Jan 2025 #59

Yes, but in an organization, that's not what a junior role is. You're speaking in relative terms, I'm referring to its themaguffin Jan 2025 #60

there will be 3 Vice-Chairs Celerity Jan 2025 #64

Ok and non are junior positions. themaguffin Jan 2025 #65

Vice Chair *is* a junior role. He's not running for Chair. Ocelot II Jan 2025 #54

I know that & "vice" is only "junior" to the chair." He needs a junior role. I assumed wrong that people knew what that themaguffin Jan 2025 #55

Absolutely not. He lacks the experience and temperament needed for the job. Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #32

Say what? You and I have apparently been listening to and watching wnylib Jan 2025 #49

Vice-Chair is not the place to start his "mentoring" project or as a place for OJT and skill-honing. Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #57

Three of the following candidates will be chosen as a Vice Chair: Joe Barbuto, Artie Blanco, Waikinya Clanton, Shasti Celerity Jan 2025 #33
