I talked to Pat earlier today about a typo on the things I turned in to the
national office. It seems that they left about half of my stuff out because
they started typing in the middle of the page. There are some other changes
that need to be made also, but I was not told what those were so I cannot
speak to them. But to go ahead and get the discussion going, what I proposed
was to change "chairman" to "chair" and "chairmen" to "Chairs" and then
proceeded to list everyplace in the by-laws and chapter articles of
association that I could find and I think I got them all. The office failed
to list any of the places in the by-laws that I put it and that is one of the
revisions that will be handled in the additional mailout, although Pat is
trying to figure a way around it because he is going to have to type up 7
more pages just to get it in.
Since it looks like this is something that will eventually get discussed a
lot, I might as well offer people to take their shots now. It appears that I
am going to have to testify before seven committees, so I will get to meet a
lot of people.
Personally, I just did this one because a lot of people seem to be more
comfortable with the term chair than chairman. From my standpoint it does
not make any difference what someone calls me, because it is not going to
affect how I do my job.
I read a post once somewhere about a chair being something that you sat on.
That being the case, then I would have two comments.
1) it still doesn't matter if you call me chairman, chair, sofa, loveseat,
ottoman, or footstool, It won't change the office, and
2) as a state tax auditor, I'm use to being sat on. (well, not literally)
I will take any comments anybody wants to make.

Gee, now I am confused.
