So? If anything, you should be held to higher standards as a PSF
member and PSSI president.

I may be the OP but I am not the founder, rather just a member who
setup the mailman list as I disliked the meetup.com communication tool

when they gave a $10,000 grant to the Pyladies.com org? I'm curious
because you want to know about the motives of a chapter.
