Hi Fellow Volunteers... I want to thank "everyone" who voted
in this election. I also want to commend the SE/MA Region
for posting more votes than any other Region. And those of
you who didn't vote, I would really like to know "why you
didn't vote?"
I stand here among some of the most giving people in the
world, shoulder to shoulder, none above the rest. Your
concerns are my concerns, your fears are my fears for I
represent "you". How can I represent you if I don't hear
from you? Obviously I can't. So let me hear from you.
When you have a concern, throw it at me. If you are totally
content with things as they are, I need to hear that too.
Don't be strangers, step up and at least say "hi"
A few other comments...
Next time you feel like sending a "scathing" post to a list,
send it to me. I won't take it personally even if you mean
it that way. Maybe we can find some common ground.
I always follow the rules even if I do not believe in them.
So there will be no "leaks" from the Board List by me, but I
will do my best to keep you informed. I will work within
the system to make the process more open. But I will not
allow my actions to create chaos or division.
100 votes in a region the size of ours is not a mandate. So
I still need to hear from you. Keep an eye on me... Be
informed... On any issues that you believe in, pro or con,
let me know. I will do my best to represent "you".
I believe in "YOU", all of you and I thank you for all you
have done to make Free Genealogical Resources on the
Internet a reality. I hope that I can live up to your and
my expectations as your representative.
Sincerely,
Jim Powell Jr
