Danny

Want to talk about expectations from the membership of E-Board members
Respect at E-board meetings
Democracy
- Want the whole membership to vote and have perspective on things
Remain vigilant about what is being said about our group
- Address negative issues within Troupe

Always remain unbiased
Make sure membership understands things that are being voted on
Be understanding of what directors do outside of the E-Board room
Make sure cast bondings are appropriate
Be open-minded
- Have sturdy beliefs but be open to interpretation
