[SBU Board] Fwd: Candidate consideration for Unit Board Spot

[Aslin, John (Perkins Coie)]

It’s great to see Ray’s interest.  However, his willingness shouldn’t deter us from following the two-step procedure that seems to have gained a clear consensus.  I think we should consider his offer in considering the interim appointment and as an expression of candidacy for the upcoming three-year slot.

Jeff, please submit the following statement to the board  for me.

To the Seattle Unit Board

Greetings,

I understand that after the deadline for the unit board election that there is one seat that does not have a candidate running for it.  After careful consideration I would like to submit an application for that seat.  I understand the board is considering options of how to fill the seat and that I will probably not be considered on the same basis as the 3 candidates who filed for the election.

As you know I have served on previous boards and have considerable experience in the way the board works and the goals and duties of the board.  I consider myself to be extremely qualified, both as a bridge player and as a board member.  I enjoyed my time on the board and am looking forward to once again having the opportunity to serve the bridge community.

There may be some concern that I didn’t file for the election.  I had decided to take off one more year before trying to get on the board again next year.  But when I found out the board was short a member, I felt it was my duty and privilege to offer my services to the board now instead of waiting that extra year.

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope that I will be allowed to join you soon in promoting our great game.

Ray Miller
