James Hubbard suggested that the league disband the position of trustee and form an executive board comprised if current officers. He suggests that district reps perform the duties of the trustees. James Hubbard moved to adopt the following: The position of league trustee will no longer exist and will be replaced by an executive board. This board will consist of league officers with the President only voting in the case of a tie.
