{"product_id":"2940158606878","title":"Who's Your Commodore","description":"This is a true story about becoming a member of a Southern California yacht club and later serving on the board of directors as a director through to the commodore's position of being in charge. The story expresses the frustration of the past with no true direction and the changing of the guard to a new and steady course. This is not about an exercise in seamanship but of \"seniorship.\"\u003cbr\u003eWith the climate of our current political system changing in this country, it seemed there was a need to share this story. Most boards are governed by Robert's Rules of Order and their bylaws supported by their SOPs (standard operating procedures) to keep continuity for their future. Board differences are their types: nonprofit, business for profit, homeowner association, philanthropy, etc. Basically, they are here for solving and resolving their issues in a manner with control. They are not for creating chaos. It is interesting that personalities overshadow this reality when all the tools are in place.\u003cbr\u003eA decision was made to put this in writing to purge the soul, hopefully shedding some light on what can happen when in control versus when out of control.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a four-year journey. With that being said, this plays to a much larger audience than just yacht clubs.","brand":"Page Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115710234864,"sku":"2940158606878","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158606878_p0.jpg?v=1764117567","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158606878","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
