<< So, among the mentioned "intentions", you asked for inputs on item 6. My
input is a simple observation that there are three people on the Board,
who had the opportunity to vote on policies which "could", under some
circumstances, benefit them personally at the expense of others. These
people are Bob Solberg, Jim Wilkins and Sandra Straka Wilkins. If they
voted "for" the IAC, they are establishing or influencing a market
environment where one "Preferred Grower"(Green Hill Farms, for example
and his business accociates) may have a comparative advantage over
another grower(s) who is not able to be a Preferred Grower. Since Bob
Solberg is marketing several of your new hosta introductions, this has
the possible "appearance" to some people of a conflict of interest.
There is certainly nothing wrong with you, President of AHS, marketing
your hostas through a grower of your choice. But there may be the
appearance of something not quite appropriate for these same people
voting or even influencing others in adopting policies which may hurt
other participants in the hosta marketplace and not hurt yourself. >>
Yes, its kinda like when Dr. Lee looked at the jury and said those famous two
words.
