Is that the right terminology or should it be "former" National Commander

[SARDOC]

Dunno...Maybe if she "retired" her membership it might be appropriate.  If she is still an active member I would think either "Former" or "Past" National Commander would be okay.  It just seems to be a minor editorial note to the community bulletin.  Nothing to get twisted up about.

[SarDragon]

Since she is listed as a member of a MIWG unit, not MI-000, 001, or 999, she's not retired.

National Commanders and their spouses are givem Life Memberships upon completion of their term. She would normally be assigned to the "National Commander's unit under National Headquarters. 

[SarDragon]

Well, she isn't. I just looked her up, again, and she's assigned to a MIWG unit in Washtenaw County.

Why is this even a conversation?

[SarDragon]

Good question. I guess I didn't look closely at the OP's identity.

In that case:

This is easily in the top 5 most worthless threads ever posted.

The idea that the press would use the wrong term.....shocking!
