ROBERT,
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THE MEMBERS, THAT IS  VERY IMPORTANT.  I FEEL THE BOARD SHOULD ADDRESS SEVERAL ISSUES, ONE BEING, THE MEMBERS SHOULD BE VOTING FOR PRESIDENT, NOT, ELECTED B Y THE BOARD.  I UNDERSTAND, THIS WAS SIT UP IN THE BY LAWS, BUT  THEY CAN BE RE WORDED, VERY IMPORTANT TO THE MEMBERS THAT SPOKE TO ME.  THE OTHER ISSUE BEING "TEST", SEVERAL, SEVERAL THAT TOOK THE TEST AND SEVERAL THAT DID NOT TAKE THE TEST WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ATTITUDE OF SHANNONS SPEECH, THIS ATTITUDE IS THROWN OVER INTO THE TESTING, MAKING SOME ABSTRACTORS, WONDERING WHY THEY ARE AT THIS CONFERENCE AND VERY MUCH ON EDGE ABOUT TAKING THE "TEST".I DID NOT TAKE THE "TEST", NOR WILL I TAKE THE "TEST", UNTIL SOMEONE, WITH LOTS OF KNOWLEDGE AND GOOD VALUES, WORKS ON THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS, OF CONCERN TO ALL ABSTRACTORS IN ALL STATES. 
THE LAST ITEM I HAVE IS, PLEASE HAVE A QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME FOR THE BOARD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE MEMBERS HAS, SOME MEMBERS, DOES NOT LIKE TO ASK ALOUD, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW THAT IS NOT ME ,  BUT THEY WOULD LIKE TO WRITE THEM DOWN. 
AGAIN, I DID ENJOY THE CONFERENCE, BUT I DID COME AWAY FROM THERE, THINKING THE BOARD HAS SEVERAL ISSUES TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THE NEXT CONFERENCE.
THE COMMITTEE THAT TOOK US OUT TO DINNER ON FRIDAY NITE, GOODDDDD TIMES
