[SBU Board] We have been asked to make a decision. Read on, please.

[Tim White]

Jeremy has exhibited positive attributes when directing club games I have played.  Our local area needs more directors, not least for U446 sectionals.  I support the proposal.

I agree this would be a precedent that at some point should be addressed as a policy matter by the board, including gaining clarity on what credentials/position(s) the proposed recipient is pursuing — club director, or a part or full time ACBL employee (as was Nick for a time).
