About all I can say is this. You have to ask yourself what is ABANA? And 
then ask what type of person will it take to make or keep ABANA on track. 
Do we want politician types on the board or do we want smiths?
Then decide. I will be honest, I dropped my membership mostly due to the 
fact that I was no longer pleased with where the Board seemed to be pushing 
ABANA. But that is just me.
