Welcome to LifeRing-10

This blog is a platform for LifeRing membership discussion of the organizational structure of LifeRing.

The delegates to the 2009 LifeRing Congress adopted a far-ranging motion to form an Expansion Committee charged with proposing a plan to reorganize the LifeRing structure.  The Committee met and has now made its proposals.  The proposals are now before the LifeRing membership for the widest possible discussion.

The complete text of the Committee's report is available as a pdf file here and also as a blog post here, below, so that you can post comments to the report as a whole.

The seven sections of the report are also posted as separate blog posts below, so that you can post comments to individual sections of the report.  They are:

(1)  Introduction
(2)  Proposed Bylaws Changes
(3)  Commentary on Regional Representative (5.6 and 6.4.9)
(4)  Commentary on the new Chairman of the Board Position (6.17)
(5)  Commentary on Other Vice Presidents (7.1)
(6)  Executive Council
(7)  Energizing the Board is More Important than Expanding It

Please circulate these proposals as widely as possible among LifeRing members and friends.  A final decision on these issues will be reached at the 2010 LifeRing Congress/Expo in Denver, June 5, 2010.
