16. Important ~!~
• Unless you represent an organization, you
must testify as an individual. Just
because you belong to an organization,
does not mean you speak for it. So
members should testify as an individual if
the are not on the Board of Directors or
the Executive Committee. Usually only
the President or a Committee Chairman
can speak for HFUU.

17. The End of the Beginning,
And the beginning of a new
Era in the life of HFUU; Educating our leaders
As to that which we value
