I'm not saying the interests would suffer. The Board of Directors set

head EAA for $100K per year? Would you head it for $300K? Can you say
yes? I thought you could.

I turned down a nice sarcasm mode oncushy /sarcasm mode project
manager's job working 12 to 16 hours a day that paid one whale of a
*lot* more than that. I even offered to organize the thing and help
some one to run it, but they didn't want that and I told them I
retired so I didn't have to work those kind of hours.
Actually it was a pretty good job.

Thing is, the job was doing exactly what I'd been doing the previous
two and a half years (prior to retirement), but for a different
company. It was even the same software vendor and reps and many times
the salary.

BOD elections are heavily stacked in favor of the incumbents. It is
very hard to get your name on the ballot as the nominating committee is
comprised of, you guessed it, existing board members typically.
