Consuls are concerned that their cloistered existence may blind them to the wants and needs of the membership. Given that the Directors have chosen not to participate in discussions of Society issues outside of Board meetings, and that Consuls have no proper voice there, an alternative means of staying in touch with the membership would be valuable.
'''Proposal: The Society should remove the ban on the [[Consuls|Consuls']] organization of an [[Advisory Council]] to permit ''interested'' [[Officers]], [[Committee Chairmen|Chairmen, Deans, Coordinators]], and Members to discuss and debate matters of Society business with the end of developing improved processes and proposals for the [[Board]] and Society.'''
