I, Tony McCormmick, Chairman and President of the OEMR, hereby vote NO to to the proposal for election of an Executive Director
Please understand that this is NOT a vote against Brady. Brady would make a fine Exec Dir, IF we were in the market to HIRE one and IF Brady did not already have a full time job.
I helped write the ByLaws, and the Executive Director position is NOT intended for election of a volunteer contributor. It was specifically intended to be used in the event that the OEMR had raised a significant and consitent amount of funding, such as a large corporate sponsor (like Oracle is for OpenOffice and MySQL). Then we would need to have a a FULL TIME employee to manage the day-to-day business. We do NOT have day-to-day business at this time and I firmly believe that the current (excellent) board members can handle the business we do have.
I has requested that this vote be held until I could attend the board meeting and explain my position, but that did not happen.
Thanks
Tony
