George Geist OFFLINE Master Posts: 3336 Thank you received: 3 Karma: 3	According to the AFA's website, nominations are now open for President-elect, and Vice-President (for which you must now be a CJF for also). Go for it again guys! George

Rick Burten OFFLINE Enforcer Posts: 9082 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 8	Thanks for the encouragement George. I have been nominated to run as a BoD rep from my region and I think I'll stick with that this time around.

Ronald E. Kramedjian OFFLINE Very Senior Member Posts: 597 Karma: 0	George, Thank you for the note, but as you said one must be a CJF to run for those offices and I am not. I too have been nominated for the BoD so I'll just let that ride as well.

Bo Terry OFFLINE Senior Member Posts: 328 Karma: 0	Ron, Congratulations on being nominated...I am curious how though. I thought that for the first year the candidate must have been a prior BoD Member or have served on a committee. Just curious. Bo

Rick Burten OFFLINE Enforcer Posts: 9082 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 8	Obviously I'm not Ron, however, to answer the question, Ron served as chairman of the AFA's Katrina Relief Effort Taskforce/Committee and thus qualifies under the statute.

Ron,
All the best to you of course in your efforts to serve on the BOD. For whatever it's worth though I think there is an even better place for you than an elected office.

Have you ever thought of putting in for Executive Director? For that you are well qualified. I realize it would be futile under this current bunch to pursue such a thing but after they go down the road I'm sure you'll have a good shot at it if you would want it.

Under such capable leadership maybe, just maybe, yours truly might be coaxed back in.
George

I've been helping my son move for the last couple of days so I've missed a couple of things. Bo, it seems that Rick has adequately answered the question, but if you have any others you can email them or post them to me as you see fit.

No. I am a farrier. Period. I like what I do for a living so why should I consider giving that up to go back into management. As an officer or BoD member I would have the opportunity to have a positive affect of things and not give up what makes my life fulfilling.

Thank you for that vote of confidence. But George, you need to stop stirring the pot and get back in the game to be taken seriously. Criticism without the willingness and ability to work to change things is hollow trouble making.
