??? Is this the way one is supposed to get news about the SSA - by
everyone individually contacting their Director??

About some things, yes. A personnel question like this is probably one
them. And surely, once the question is asked on ras and an answer
doesn't pop right back, it's time to call a director (that is, if you
are really interested in an answer).

I hope the directors
have a lot of surplus time available!

They do. Hardly anyone calls, I'm told. Some members seem to have plenty
of time to ask questions on ras, but no time to call and talk things
over; others don't call because they don't care. My director has never
complained when I call him; in fact, he seems glad that someone is
showing interest. I've also contacted (by phone or email) other
directors occasionally, and gotten the same good response. Most
recently, Cindy Brickner and Jim Skydell. Give it a try, and if you
think your director isn't pleased to have you call, remember that next
time you vote for one.
