Great job, Ellie and Mark! Many thanks to the folks on the slate - excellent to see some new names/people step up.
I don't know if it's too late, and it's been said by others before, and by all means no offense to those already on the slate, however it is always good to have more than one person per position to choose from when voting. Especially if for some reason someone has to drop out at the last minute. With that said, I know what a challenge it is to get even one person to step up. I know I am not currently in a position to do so because I am chair of the NSS and TCMA grants committees and those are full time jobs in addition to the paying one. And for what it's worth, these folks currently on the ballot have my full support and vote! I know each of you, have caved with most of you, and know you will represent the TSA well with your fresh ideas and actions. I am equally excited by electronic voting! - from julia's cell On Sep 5, 2013, at 13:50, ellie.tho...@gmail.com wrote: > Texas Cavers, > > I am happy to announce a full slate of candidates for the upcoming TSA > elections! > > Candidates: > > Chairman- Kurt Menking > Vice-Chairman - Roger Moore > Secretary -Heather Tucek > Treasurer- Anne Scott > > I will be soon be announcing electronic elections to current members.
