FWIW, and at the risk of writing a second "me too" post in a row:
I agree that it wouldn't be mischaracterization to call Eriks and Florences competition a virtual dead heat.
I might modify mavs suggestion though. As there is a potential problem of vote ties if one trustee or another cannot participate in board votes (if any); why not hold Eric as a substitute trustee (assuming he is willing). Attending all
meetings, and being a voting trustee on those occasions that only four of the trustees can be in on the meeting. I do not know how feasible this would be in regard the laws and bylaws; so if that would not be feasible, in that case mavs suggestion sounds quite as good, even though perhaps suffering from the possibility of tied votes; which might have to be addressed.
I think that is an absolutely wonderful idea! And no, your post was not a 'me too'. Hopefully mine won't be either....
This way Erik becomes a trustee, gets to do all the work required of a trustee (attend meetings, head and work in committees, etc) but normally does not get to vote unless either Anthere or Angela are absent. That way our representation is more consistent *and* we get another trustee to share the work load.
Splendid idea! Make it so!
