True but processes for streamlining inefficiencies (meeting and
time management issues) were needed to be implemented so that we
could draw on a larger community. Most parents don't have three
hours at night to toss away and that's what the meetings lasted
prior... Agendas weren't really observed, either; it was not
unusual for someone to walk in and expect time to talk about an
item (or three).
