She mentioned that she had graciously given her support to Member Weinstein when he asked for it during the last go-around and is sorry that he cannot do that in return. Member Areson added that she had discussed, in private, with Member Weinstein her concerns for his running the Board for the one year he was Chair. She still holds true to those beliefs. She enjoys working with him but cannot support him as the Chair. Member Reed thanked Chair Worthington for her leadership and service.
