Managerís Report

Extra Summer Help

Review of Chain-of-command

Lee Bellar asked the Board to reiterate how the Area Representatives, Committee Chairmen, the Ranch Manager, and the Board Representative should relate.Ý It was decided that the Ranch Manager should work directly with the Area Representatives and Committee Chairmen.Ý If any issue which was different or larger than usual should arise, the Ranch Manager or Area Rep or Committee Chairman should involve the Board Representative.Ý The Ranch Manager should always work within the approved budget and established business procedures.

Solar System for Headquarters
