I cannot offer my recommendation to the Board about which choices to make. This is only partly due to a conflict of interest. The big question you will have to answer for yourselves is, “How hard am I willing to work to ensure that The Augustan Society survives?” If the answer is the same as the present level of effort (especially considering our failure to muster a quorum for the August meetings), you need to chose a course of action that minimizes Board involvement. However, if you are willing to rise to the challenge — and it is a non-trivial challenge — then you should chose a course that calls for a significant and a significantly larger level of commitment from the Board, both collectively and individually. Your decision does not have to be taken today, but with each day’s delay your options become ever more limited.
