"Hi, I'm Suzanne Shephard and as a candidate for the
Southeastern/Mid-Atlantic County Coordinator Representative, I would like to have your
vote! I am a county coordinator of six county sites in Kentucky and one in Virginia and am
a past coordinator with GAGenWeb. I am list mom for two mailing lists, and two message
boards and I am the coordinating chairperson for the KYGenWeb Records Repository.
I am a CC through and through --- I want to represent my fellow coordinators on this
Advisory Board and use my many years of working as a CC volunteer to make sure our focus
is on the true backbone of this organization, the County Coordinators of the USGenWeb.
I believe in honesty, integrity, communication and fairness and I feel that
I can make a difference by bringing these qualities to the table of
USGenWeb. I firmly believe that we need to get back to the basic premise of this project
and that the county coordinators are, in fact, the backbone of the USGenWeb. We have
strayed away from the fact that the CCs in this project are volunteers. We do this because
we love genealogy. And we have allowed this project to become more like a business led by
a small group instead of being led by the coordinators that make the project possible!
§ If I am elected, I promise to always keep the best interests of my
fellow coordinators in front of everything else.
§ I will always do what ever is in my power to competently and
honestly represent you.
§ I will always listen to your suggestions and I will ask your
opinions. They matter!
§ I will always keep an open communication between myself and my
fellow CCs.
§ I will always do my best to serve you and preserve the ideals that
created this project.
§ All projects such as this one must have rules. And I will always
work to make sure these rules help and not hinder our abilities as
coordinators.
These are the qualities and promises that I will bring to the position of
SEMA CC Representative, if elected. If you have any questions regarding my candidacy or
personal information, please contact me at
syshephard(a)charter.net
You have the privilege and the right to make your personal choice for the
positions open in this election. Make your voice heard in the
USGenWeb.Please Vote!!
Thank you,
Suzanne
