Think of it less as a family, and more as a business. I like to think that
the SFR BoD does not micromanage Solo 2. Solo 2 essentially has its own
"BoD", but it is called "The Steering Committee." Most members of the BoD
recognize and support our program, independent of theirs as our efforts may
be.
The reason that the issues don't surface in The Wheel is that they are
settled in SC meetings. Any member who wishes to raise an issue can let the
Region Chief know, and (s)he will be given time to raise their issue at an SC
meeting. I'm thankful that we make our decisions fairly quickly and that we
don't have issues that are bandied about ad nauseum by the membership.
I'm not sure what you would have the BoD do to help us with our site
situation, but if there was something they could do, I'd bet that they would.
