  You forgot your mom's birthday, you blew the presentation at work and you haven't worked out in a month — so you beat yourself up.

  Robert C. Harris Association Management

  "We need a task force to review our committee structure," board members quipped. The issue in this association is the existence of 75 committees. They built up over decades without a review of purpose and effectiveness. Board members explained, "Committee chairs have held their positions for years and will not secede."
