The stance will differ from person to person, but you have every right to be a part of the meetings, I think. You are a taxpayer and even if you never send a child to school, you doubtless are affected by teh products turned out by the school. Make sure you go in with the proper attitude. I think this is a noble action and I hope you have some good thoughts to lend. However, if you go in with the attitude of, "I'm going to change things and I don't care whom I offend," you will never change anything. Tread lightly for a while and get the feel of the organization. These people will likely be wary of you at first, but if they see that your ideas and intentions are good they will respect and welcome your input. Good luck!! Jeff wayman@lamar.colostate.edu
