i decline my nomination

Thank you

I too must decline my nomination. I really enjoyed working with everyone on the BOD but time seems to be a scarce resource nowadays and I just feel there are people out there that could better fill this postion. I appreciate the nomination and will still be active on MAAST. Plus, with the nominees this far I know next years board will be another good one!

Looks like Christopher missed his chance to decline and has therefore accepted by default.

I choose to nominate Jarrod Pape (cowboy572) for the board. He has been a member for the last five years and he truly enjoys the hobby. He rarely misses a meeting or a swap and I think someone who has seen the club go through good times and bad has a perspective on what the club needs to build a stronger foundation. As a member, I want to see people who are people persons. I don't think nominations should have to be based on what someone posts or how someone posts online. After reading many of the posts there are not many of substance. People are getting numbers on short posts that might include "yes I agree" and they are getting their numbers. Although a member should be active online, to me a person should be out there meeting people and drawing people into the club. When you see people in the stores, acknowledge people and ask them what their interests are in the hobby and see if they would like to join. I see this in Jarrod. As an educator myself, without learning or teaching...no one learns. The reason I joined is to learn and meet people who share the same interests. I hope members will take the time to consider Jarrod for a board position. I think he can bring some new ideas and people into the club and bring about a positive change.

nice second post!

[cowboy572]

Well, I accept my nomination for the board.

[cbianco]

I respectfully decline.

My move to Kindergarten has been very time consuming. EVERYDAY, I arrive at work ~6:15 and don't leave until ~5:00. These long days have left me tired, at a lack of time to spend with my wife and unable to fulfill my duties 100% here on MAAST.

HOWEVER, I am willing to help the BOD in anyway I can for events and meetings.

Christopher

i would like to nominate the following people to another term on the board:

Christopher Bianco
Chris Mata (i know you said you were taking a break, but i still think you are a valuable board member)
Lorraine Richards
Kevin Kiel

these board members have worked well together to keep things running smoothly and i think with a little more time this group of board members would benefit maast

i would also like to nominate the following memebers:

Lucky (lsingh)
justin (justahobby)
mike (texreefer)
karin (europhyllia)
alton (alton)
sherita (sherita)

these members contribute constantly to the site and i think each of them would be an asset to the board.

where is cbianco?

Looks like Christopher missed his chance to decline and has therefore accepted by default.
