[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 677934, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]fair enough . Perhaps I should rephrase or explain. You want to set a clear direction with the safety committe to affect the biggest problems in that center. Before we had co-chaired committees we had committees without any direction. 10 or 15 people showed up. Many of them had their own concern unique to their perspective. If you didn't fix their particular problem right then and there then you lost them.
