<div>Quite the opposite. You edit out an important part of what I said. I would have acted on the decision made by the BOD, or indicated by relevant Chamber policy. My individual opinion wouldn't have mattered. As E.D. I didn't even have a vote on the BOD. </div>

</div>Then, Mr. Keim, what you are suggesting is that the Board of Directors of<br>
the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, while you were its Executive Director,<br>
didn't care how local business statements/activities reflected upon the<br>
city of Moscow (good or bad), as long as they were legal?<br>
<br>
Was this the "standing policy" back when the Chamber requested (and<br>
received) a $10,000 grant from the City of Moscow?<br>
<br>
Hmmm.<br>
