Wow.<\/p>\n<p>Later it includes the picture below, which I assume is a photo of either the Executive Committee or the main members of the group. What&#8217;s missing? How about a near equal representation of women? A friend remarked that perhaps that&#8217;s just the make up of the most &#8220;powerful&#8221; people in the central Wasatch. I don&#8217;t doubt that, but it doesn&#8217;t make it right or an effective distribution of people. I know this will be a shocking statement&#8230; but often a group dominated by white males doesn&#8217;t come up with the optimal solution. Perhaps there are other forces at work here, or I&#8217;m missing something.
