Some extra thoughts:
I will continue to run for President for this next year. This is not meant to
discourage others from running for this position, and I would like encourage
anyone who wishes to run, to run for this position. The reason I would like to
remain President for my last year is to setup a proper flow for the following
years, as to not allow things to return to how they were before me.
In keeping with that, I am announcing that whether or not I am elected, I would
like to see a monthly or bi-weekly meeting for all four officers, which they
are expected to attend. I am putting more importance on officer attendance for
the following year, especially for the Secretary position. While you are not
expected to be at every meeting as Secretary consistent attendance is now a
requirement to run for this position. This is because the Secretary will be in
charge of keeping attendance, and will have to have another officer track
attendance in their absence.
Lastly the desirable skill set is not meant to prevent you from running for any
position, it is only meant as a guide to see where you would be a better fit.
None of the skill sets are a requirement. The Vice President should not have to
mess with guts of the website after I am done with my changes. Also a short
note, I will have an easy method for all officers to submit news worthy stories
that fall into their category to the website.
Thanks again everyone, and please begin thinking of whether or not you want to
run, we need officers to carry us through this next year, so don't be shy, and
please get back to me ASAP!
