Serving as a member of the PGCA BOD is not an appointed position. One can even nominate one's self but, never-the-less, must be nominated for election. No one can be refused nomination as long as he/she is a member in good standing - then it is up to the election process which, in my opinion, is quite fair and democratic. The sagacity that normally comes with age is not necessarily a bad thing - it has served mankind well through the milennia and is good for the PGCA and any other organization wherein wisdom and experience are always called upon in decision-making processes. Yes, youth is good; fresh ideas are good too, as well as the energy of youth too. There are two positions opening on the PGCA BOD very soon... let's see what happens.
