Will it help that Mr. Uram is a member of the board of govenors of ANA for the future CCAC design reviews?

    I've known Tom Uram for several years, he is a good man and will do a good job.

    No.

    A fundamental problems is that the Mint lacks a qualified Artistic Director who can guide the sculptors and broaden their vision. The present system is built around marketing and trite commercial drawings, not creativity and insight. The CCAC/CFA report of 2011 clearly addressed the problems and presented solutions. Nothing substantive has changed, except for getting the sculptors into better working conditions.
