Why do you keep using people's full names?

I'm only using the names of the Management Team of the coop, that small group of six people with ultimate authority to create, remove, or change any policy dealing with the day-to-day operations of the coop. For the same reason that the Board of Directors is public, because members of a public food coop should know the people deciding long-range policies at the coop, those names are public. If I refer to anyone else, at most I will use initials. But the Management Team has too much power to not be held publicly accountable for the state of People's Food Cooperative today. In the interest of fairness, my name is Solomon James.

The Management Team consists of the following individuals:
General Manager
Assistant General Manager
Operations Manager*
Food Service Manager
Director of Outreach & Education*
Human Resource Director*

Three of those members (those with *'s) have changed in the last year, creating a sizable shift in whatever consensus structure may have existed before that.
