Joel is correct,
In the discussion on Thursday evening I suggested that the committee name
change shouldn’t suggest any decreased attention to Member Services. If
the Board is of a mind that P&MS or another version without the ampersand
will bother some members, let’s change the name.
Perhaps we ought
remind ourselves that the Field and Educational Services Department
abbreviation when spoken is phonetically “Effen
E Ess.” Say that fast 3 times. Is this really worth all the email traffic?
If so, let’s just change the name and move on.

Proposal
The original name was "Programs & Services". When
President Haynie assigned
Director Bellows on behalf of A&F, and me on behalf of the
Executive
Committee to work out a compromise Thursday evening, Jay wanted to add
"Member" to the name.
So, that was added to the motion that was presented to
the board.
I have no personal feeling either way. The committee will still do what
the
board has assigned regardless of
what we call it..... P&S Committee or P&MS
Committee.
Programs & Services works fine for me.

"Programs and Services" works for me.

with either.
