ILaAhas been subject of a take over by the executive Director. It is now
alienating its state affiliates by imposing high costs of affilation and
operating more like a trade show than a professional organization.
I won't be attending any more. I would welcome participation by Zoom in any
meeting of the Hallof Fame. And I strongly support the move to LRA.
