Q: A lot of people are frustrated with communications not being authentic and not written by BoD but instead written by HQ signed by BoD. How do you plan on personally and effectively communicating to the community? So this doesn't happen. #SQLPASSBODAMA

Will there be breakfast next year? #SQLPASSBoDAMA

q. What experience have you got in salvaging or closing down businesses? #sqlpassbodama What is your deficit handling strategy right after Summit? Assuming C&C are no longer in business, for the moment, that's not the point of the question before we get into that debate :)

Have the new potential Board Members considered their strategy and tactics if org is bankrupt? Ideally, you need to close doors before bankruptcy, can't continue 'trading' wrongfully. How do you decide that point, and what do you do next? #SQLPASSBODAMA #PASSBODAMA

q. What are your plans for the AHP? If PASS divorces from C&C (or C&C doesn't survive) what are the plans for any potential ongoing or new cases? Legal costs, for example? Obviously, privacy should be respected so no need for specifics. #PASSBodAMA #SQLPASSBodAMA

How do you plan to educate #sqlpass loyalists that there are communities beyond #sqlpass too? And that those communities should not be looked down upon. And that all back-door discrimination should stop. After all, those folks too are part of #SQLFamily #SQLPASSBoDAMA

@loriedwards I get it that they entire board votes. Up until this point, the majority of board members seem to vote in lock step with the C&C agenda. Why are there not more elected members asking the hard questions and not necessarily towing the PASS party line? #sqlpassbodama

How do you plan to make big changes as just a single, non-exec board member when the overall leadership may not want to change? #sqlpassbodama

I was unable to vote because my profile was incomplete: only thing missing was the level of responsibility and decision making stuff. I've been an attendee for years 😞 Do you think this is really important enough for members to not be count if it's missed? #SQLPASSBODAMA

With the pandemic and the current financial situation, do you think there should have been a summit this year? Or should PASS have cancelled the event all together and taken time to re-focus and re-structure? #sqlpassbodama

@sqlmal @blythemorrow I for one would like to see where those "rules" actually are. You know...in writing. #sqlpassbodama

#SQLPASSBODAMA Comments have been made about increasing opportunity for volunteers, yet there have also been comments made about not working for free for a for profit company, how do the candidates intend to resolve that dichotomy?

What are your plans to decrease expenses while increasing the value of the organization to its members? #sqlpassbodama

These #SQLPASSBODAMA questions are great, very informative for the community. I'd say that for me I heard about SQLSaturday via local UG's long before I knew what PASS was and then Summit, so that's where most of the activity is and needs to be more supported.
