Hm. I don’t know Debra Nakatomi even though she’s from my area. I’ll have to ask around to see if anyone knows her. I see a lot of D.C., NY, and NJ on the list. Seems like over half of the board can see the Atlantic from their council windows, but I don’t know if that means anything. I won’t speculate as to why the 7 western members are just under the 25% threshold for being able to toss a board development committee member without cause. Just kidding. I’m sure it just worked out that way, but it’s fun to find hidden conspiracies. I really believe these members will honestly address all aspects of the Girl Scout organization that are in their limited power to affect. Since some people were paranoid about the geographical make-up of the board I couldn’t help poking fun.
