Naming and Appointing Officials

Goran: Who do you think will be Appointed to succeed Ramon on the board?

Anne: I don’t know whom they’ll pick To fill the position, but I know who the Candidates are. The Higher ups have been quietly Vetting three people to make sure they don’t have any Skeletons in their closets.

Goran: Really? Who are they?

Anne: I’m not At liberty to say, but I think at least two of the candidates are people outside of the Inner circle.

Goran: You mean we might actually get a new board member who’s not Buddy-buddy with the higher ups?

Anne: All I can say is that two outsiders are Under consideration.

Goran: Wow, That’s huge. Can you at least tell me if the remaining candidate is the Interim board member? Everybody thinks he has the Inside track.

Anne: I can’t tell you that. The selection is being kept Under wraps until next Thursday. I’ve already Let slip too much.

Goran: Don’t worry. My lips are sealed.

Anne: They’d better be. You know what they say about Loose lips.

Goran: Yeah, and I’m not Sinking this ship.
