Al,

Kim forwarded your email for my review and response.

As it is a national event, Judy reports to the AMC directly on the progress
of the AG, is the individual most responsible for coordinating all aspects
of the AG, and is the individual that the National Office will contact for
all things AG-related.  If Judy, on receipt of this email, suggests that we
deal with you directly, we will do so.  If she chooses another route as AG
Chair, that is her decision.

On another note as a director of a national organization, I would hope that
the next time you feel the need to vent because you believe that Kim is not
doing her job, as evidenced by your statements below, you will contact me
directly rather than berate her for what you perceive is a problem.

Judy, if you would, please approve Al's request.

Best regards to all,

Howard
