 The Pharmacy Alliance will not end up an exclusive club with just a
few self-important people dictating how it will go.  You have all seen
organizations that operate in this way, the few laying down directives
to the many.  The Pharmacy Alliance has a flattened management model
with the members within grabbing distance of the officers above.  Most
pharmacy organizations have a spiked pyramid, with the "officials" way
up there, out of touch.  That is not for us.

Our intention is to keep it simple.  We don't want to become overloaded
with a leaden bureaucracy.  We want our documents to be uncomplicated.
The description of what we put in "the bowl" shall be straightforward
declarative sentences and not too many of them.  We do not want to get
buried in words.

Chaos is where creativity is born.  And creativity does not take the
effort and struggle that our puritanical imperative taught us.  Creation
happens in an instant and it does not take work and exertion.  Managing
the chaos does take a little work.

The Pharmacy Alliance is like a baby learning how to walk, right now.
It feels a bit chaotic.  But not as chaotic as it did just a few weeks ago.

Our agenda in the meetings in Galveston will be to fill up the bowl with
issues that concern you and that are appropriate for a bowl of Dignity,
Self-Respect and Integrity.
