[MassHistPres] local HC minutes

[slater at alum.rpi.edu]

I'm curious if this clerk, or the secretary of any MA HCs are paid
positions.

If not, how do you coerce someone to do work in an unpaid position which
doesn't have the status of being a commissioner? Do HCs have
commissioners who are willing to volunteer as the secretary (which can
be elected from within or outside the commission)?
