In the past year I have been Unit President, setting agendas for our meetings, keeping people on-task, and serving as a liaison between our board, District 19 and the ACBL. I have also worked on the Non Life Master tournaments as well as served as Hospitality chair. Outside of the board, I help run the UW Bridge Club, provide hospitality to the Mercercrest game every Tuesday, and served as Camp Coordinator for the Summer Bridge for Youth Camp.</div><div class="x_766799850gmail_default" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small"><br></div><div class="x_766799850gmail_default" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small">If reelected, I would like to continue working to attract new players into clubs and unit activities. A key challenge is locating attractive playing sites, and I want to rededicate myself to expanding our venues throughout the Unit's territory. Finally, I want to work to establish a mentoring program within the board in order to create continuity with the tasks and duties we are expected to perform.</div><div class="x_766799850gmail_default" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small"><br></div><div class="x_766799850gmail_default" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small">Thank you for the opportunity, and for your vote. </div><div class="x_766799850gmail_default" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small"><br></div><div class="x_766799850gmail_default" style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: small"><br></div><div><div class="x_766799850gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Ann Romeo<br>Personal email: <a href="mailto:annromeo@gmail.com" target="_blank">annromeo@gmail.com</a></div> <div>Local home: 206-526-0871<br>Work email: <a href="mailto:Ann.Romeo@ORCInternational.com" target="_blank">Ann.Romeo@ORCInternational.com</a></div> <div>Work direct dial: 212-463-6331</div><div>My cell: 425-615-1413 (text ok)</div><div> </div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102); font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt"></span> </p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102); font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt"> </span></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><i><span style="color: rgb(153, 204, 0); letter-spacing: -1pt; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt"></span></i><b><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 18pt"></span></b> </p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </font></div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div></blockquote></div></div><br></body></html>
