The problem with this IMHO is that voters see name recognition with the same people running and serving year after year. If FT members are not aware of some candidates, it may be easier to vote for who they recognize. There may be a lot of talented FT members who would like to run for TB but hesitate to do so because they may feel there is no chance they will win against established TBers.
In all the non-profits I have worked for there were term limits with 4 years maximum and then a break for Board members. It allowed other members of to serve and contribute to the leadership of
their organization.
While there has been discussion on the relevance of the TB , it would be nice to see other FT members serve.
Fresh perspectives after all.
