It is my belief that the Director at Large position is well served by a judge. Traveling throughout the country as a judge gives me the opportunity to interface with exhibitors and clubs in geographically diverse areas, to learn your concerns. Moreover, it provides exposure to a variety of issues I might not otherwise be familiar with. I would be listening to the concerns of a variety of clubs — small clubs, large clubs, broad-based clubs and focused clubs. And more importantly, I would be in a position to serve as your voice on the board.
During recent elections, clubs have chosen new individuals to serve on CFA’s board. This is a practice that I would like to see continued. With new board members come fresh ideas, as well as the ability to offer innovative thoughts on different aspects of our organization. As a candidate, I would like your support and your club’s vote to add this new face to our board of directors.
