Affolter is a returning Vice President, and a welcome member of the Partnership
Council. Doug has made a name for himself as a "bull-dog" in the research
arena. He has proven his worth time and again during some of our most
heated negotiations, while allowing his 'passion' present itself in "robust
debate"! Never ask him, "What's that?" nor leave a jelly sandwich laying
around. "Ahee, Boo Boo!"

He has managed to keep us all outta jail; all the while doing his part in
modernizing the office and playing techno-wiz for the members. Mr. Vargas

exhaustive third term as President. Mr. Huffman is into gizmos and
