[CBW_Exec] FW: Sense of the House Motion for Chris Anson

[J. Elizabeth Clark]

Hi All,

Here's the updated and edited sense of the house motion (thanks to Steven and Deborah for last minute edits!). I added as signatories (I think we had to have at least 5) the e board members who were in attendance on Tuesday night when we discussed this and Shannon who chimed in last night on e-mail. I *think* we would think this was a good thing, but didn't want to misrepresent anyone who wasn't part of the conversation. 

I've printed this and Bill & I will introduce it this morning. I'll then post to the blog and FB page.

Thanks!

Liz
