National Board Meeting - Jacksonville


To the left is a picture of yours truly, along with National President Chuck Canterbury to my right..the little guy to my left is Mike Burnett, Chair of the Trustees. Chuck Canterbury remarked that this picture looked like an AT&T commercial.
The Jacksonville meeting was not as eventful as most of us had anticipated. For those who don't know, there is a bit of turmoil on the National Board. The Trustees had one pretty tense meeting, but it sound like one issue (for now) is resolved. We're waiting for the other shoe to drop. I would rather not get into it here, but if anyone would like a verbal account, please call me at 612-581-4747.
I won't bore you with the details of the meeting - that's for my report at the State Conference. We ARE hosting the Fall 2010 National Board Meeting and probably the State President's Meeting. 250 people come in from all over the country, and these are the movers and shakers of the FOP. It will be an excellent way to showcase our state and our lodges, and further elevate the Minnesota FOP in the hearts and minds of our membership, both national and local.
