name tag matter

Grace sent a note, admitting it wasn't strictly POH related, raising—again—the issue of name tags for the CAO committee. She wanted to know how to go about getting this from council.

Tony followed up. Said the job was likely going to fall to him.  But he wanted some feedback from the rank-and-file. He said he'd appreciate an opportunity to talk about it at the CAO.

I was a little irked. It is true it is nothing to do with the POH. Or even the CAO directly. I see it as a council matter. And it's simple. The plastic blue tags made it the past, it is my understanding, were made for executive, councillors, and committee chairs. And the simple thing to do was to crank out a new batch with the new logo. Done.

Understood Grace's frustration that the whole thing had stalled. But at the same time, there's little, if anything, that the POH committee could do. Maybe the CAO committee proper could elevate it with council. Perhaps she was making the matter public to get some traction...
