[NSRCA-discussion] D3 VP - Thank You Guys

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Jim,

You said everything you should have said in the first sentence of your 
note below. Everything else sounds like sour grapes and makes your 
first comment a left-handed compliment to Gary Courtney

The last comment "......before they find other ways to spend their 
time." is very very unfortunate. That sounds like a threat!!! A threat 
towards whom??

I always considered you one of the good ones and if you recall, you and 
Emory were the first guys I asked to be my AVPs in D3. Was I wrong in 
my early assessment of your abilities? I hope not....but all things 
change.

All,

 

I would like to add my congratulations to Gary for receiving the
appointment.  While not appointed, I feel honored by the people who
supported my effort and philosophy by sending letters on my behalf, and 
I give
my sincere thanks to them.  Many wrote and several spoke to the biases 
or
other issues that need to be addressed in our district.  One of the main
ideas I want to carry forward is increasing transparency in our 
contests and
organization.

 

For those that supported me, I will add
what I have been told about this particular NSRCA Board vote.  The board
was given contact information for each of the candidates and asked to 
contact
each one.  The only person to call or email me was Derek.  Thank you
for the call Derek.  In this appointment process, I was not asked to
submit an official platform.  I did though request to speak to the board
members prior to the vote and was not allowed an opportunity to do so.

 

The one dimension of leadership that is
always appreciated is honesty/transparency/fairness.  Small events or
decisions may happen in a vacuum, but the effects and results do not.  
Gary has my fullest support
moving forward and I hope we can right the ship and reinvest those 
within our
own ranks before they find other ways to spend their time.    

 

Sincerely,

Jim W.

The NSRCA board voted this past weekend to select Gary Courtney to
complete the remainder of Lamar Blair's term as D3 VP.  We received
interest from 3 qualified candidates and received a number of email 
messages
from various D3 members giving their support to each of the candidates. 
Thank you to all the candidates for stepping up and making yourselves 
available
to help steer D3 in the right direction.  The spirit of volunteerism is
alive and well!





 





Please give Gary
your support and please feel free to talk to Gary or any of the board 
members
about your concerns about the NSRCA or D3 in particular.





 





Thank you to all._______________________________________________
