Executive Summary
As requested by the Presidents' Forum last summer in Portland OR, the NPCA Board studied ways to improve its performance. The report of this effort is now available and will be discussed in Chicago, August 5-8. The proposals, if approved, would reduce the Board's size and change its composition, via an amendment to NPCA Bylaws to be placed before the NPCA membership in the fall. The number of Board committees has already been reduced. The role of the Presidents' Forum and Group Leaders would also be strengthened.
Proposals
Of five proposals, first two require membership to vote changes in by-laws:

These are additional suggestions I'd like to make. Reduce the annual FEE to join NPCA!! I entered PC in '96 (Albania), but was evacuated in '97. I was 75 years old and I enjoyed every moment! I am on a very limited budget and have never been able to afford the stiff MEMBERSHIP FEE!! How about a Senior Discount?
I no longer teach, and because our Maine contingent had not JOINED NPCA no news of our countries ever appeared in the publication. I wondered of what use their newsletter was to me. Of course I did not receive the PC Magazine either so there did not seem to be any point in paying for it.
When I visited the NPCA's office in Wash. DC all that was happening in there was their selling of PC items!!
I am glad you are overhauling the NPCA!!
