[NSRCA-discussion] USA CIAM Representative?

[Ryan Smith]

Rusty,

 

Here is what (I think) I know.

 

Individuals put their name in a hat for consideration. I'm not sure there's
any nominating committee, it's open as far as I know. Two of the people
dropped out by the time we took a vote, and we were left with Derek and Earl
Haury. They each submitted a resume, and we were allowed to ask questions to
the candidates. We took a vote and Derek was the winner.

 

It was my understanding that the job wasn't very time intensive, and didn't
require travel to Europe to meet. Both Derek and Earl were very worthy
candidates, and the vote was close.

 

I hope this clears up things a little.

 

Regards,

 

Ryan Smith

NSRCA D2 VP

I learned yesterday that "we" have a new CIAM representative, Derek
Koopowitz, who has replaced Chris Lakin.  Apparently, congratulations to
Derek.

 

How is the individual selected?

Who is on the nominating Committee?  

Is there such a committee?

How are the candidates views and opinions communicated?

Who votes?

Is the NSRCA, as the AMA's FAI F3A special interest group, responsible for
the process and then an AMA official, after careful consideration and review
"rubber stamps" the submission?

Did I need to have a FAI stamp to participate?

Am I the last to know?

 

Derek is a fine choice AND there are also a bunch of others who, I hope,
were considered and reviewed... 

 

who have made significant contributions to the sport on the local, regional
and national levels, have significant leadership experience, have attended
numerous FAI F3A World Championships as a Team member or Manager or Team
volunteer, have been involved at the highest levels and ample amounts of
time to focus on the role without distration or other responsibilities...

 

who also would make excellent contributions and continue the traditions of
excellence of our current and past CIAM representatives.

 

 

Respectfully,

 

Rusty Dose

Past NSRCA Treasurer
