drum roll, please..

Our dear friend/advisor/contributor JP Ranch (also known as Jim Brown from Gillette Wyoming), is throwing his hat into the ring for ICC director. He's seeking the position being vacated by John Darnell in Region 2.

It's an at large vote the membership vote to be held in Phoenix in October/November. The agenda has been published, but plan your attendance in advance to support Jim.

While it may be surprising to most of you that Jim is doing this, it's really important to have a director with "mud on his boots" to represent us on the ICC board.

Personally, I know Jim and I absolutely throw my support to his elevation to this position.

Vote early... vote often.. I will be there in Phoenix.. if I can to support him.

Post a banner.. and spread the word.

GO JIM!
 
Glad he's come out of the closet, talked with him last week about this. I agree, I support him and am glad that there is some common folks that might be able to get inside, make some changes! Go get'em Jim!
 
Peach: I know Jim had wanted you to break the news, but I feel we should give this more prominence on the BB. If your ok I believe we should move this to a new topic area and JIM can use it as a form to reach others and respond to questions. Just a thought.
 
She did Fatboy: I was thinking on a more direct line of format. A place that Jim could us to reach others that may be interested in voting for him. There are more visitors then members. It could give him a place to reach votes for fall election. It would also depend on the time Jim has to respond or put forth his platform.

Also: How about some Jim Brown for ICC Board buttons?
 
I can't tell where to post............. I would support any form of advertisement for a member of this forum trying to better the advancement of codes through common sense.
 
Even though it might appear to fit better elsewhere, maybe a sticky thread in this forum, as it seems to get quite a bit of traffic.
 
I like the idea of giving JP a spot to take questions and comments. Wouldn't even object to letting anyone running for ICC board the same privilege.

A good way for all of us to meet all the candidates.
 
Anyone who is interested can request a spot, I suppose. I posted it in as many places as I thought appropriate... I'd be open to all candidates..

Not a bad idea Texas T. The only thing I may wonder about is that I'm already here because this is the place to be. Other canidates motives may be a little different? But I ain't scared. Let'em in.

JP you can whip them all with at least one hand tied behind your back. You are a very unusual candidate for the ICC Board, you have some common sense.

Just thought it might be nice to actually have a place to meet and greet (beat and pummel) candidates. All most of us ever see before the conference is a letter with a resume asking for votes. This would give people the chance to ask questions and become informed. If you do get to meet most candidates at the conference it is a quick hand shake and off they go.

Give people another reason to come to this board and check it out. And if it increases the traffic here on this board.....
 
I made up my own line in the signature line in case visitors don't know JP....always thinking :) Ok.........got the idea from Peach

Tex T, Jar and JP,

Having a place for candidates to answer questions and get to know perspective voters / vice versa is an excellent venture since I can't recall seeing it anywhere before on any organizational media. I doubt ICC (insert flaming cow) will have anything other then the listing and bio's of candidates. This proposed opportunity may be a great way for membership to be more involved also.

I want to meet with the members and non-members. Talk to chapters. I do not want to be just another 8 1/2 X 11 bio. I can clearly see how time is limited at the hearings to meet with the canidates. So with that I will and already have reached out to many states, chapters, and individuals. Guess what... Here's a really big suprize... I can not do this alone and I'm not so proud as to not ask for help! So..... HELP!!!
