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

[Sarah J Kirk]

Liz (and Shannon and Bill and Steven....):

I appreciate your work here (especially in the middle of the night!) as well as your early morning CBW representation at the meeting. Thank you.

And I'm happy, peppy, and bursting with love to be part of the CBW crew! This has been a fabulous conference for me.

Best,

Sarah

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
