Hardly. I don't know what my chapter's opinion was in selecting the
chapter-selected members, I don't know who from the board members did
anything about it anyway, and besides the board has been chosen for other
things they're good at than selecting board members.

So if I don't agree with the chapter-selected board members, my recourse is
to vote down board members of my own chapter that may or may not have been
involved in the choice of my chapter to support or not support that board
member, disregarding other, probably more important factors to choose that
chapter board member. Doesn't sound to me like a very high of accountability
to me or other chapter members...
