[RC] Nominating for DAL - Michael MaulI just got power back last night after being without it for 10 days as a results of hurricane Ike. We are still cleaning up from a lot of tree damage.I encourage anyone who has the time and is willing to devote the effort to supporting AERC by nominating for the position of Director-at-Large. A few years ago - we did have a large slate of nominees - about 22 if I remember correctly. It would be great to see that again. Truman was one of those. My column in the Sept EN is about being on the Board at http://www.aerc.org/ENSept08Pres.asp Here's part of it. "What can you personally get out of serving on the board? I think that varies from individual to individual. Some view it as a chance to return something to the sport that we participate in. One director expressed it this way: "My father taught me that you should not just be a taker -- you should be a giver as well." Others may feel this is the best way to affect the future of a sport that we all enjoy. Challenges face us -- the loss of trails, growing population needs, and increased costs to participate are just a few of them. You have an opportunity to directly play a role in how AERC responds to these challenges if you are on the BoD." "Your nomination with $5 needs to be received in the office by September 30, either by mail or by calling the office at 866-271-AERC with your Visa/MC number."
