Subject: [STATE-COORD] Please help!
I have a favor to ask on behalf of the USGenWeb Election Committee.
They
have nine positions open and not enough volunteers to fill the places. All
of us receive so many requests for our time that we often just discard them
without a thought, but please pause to consider how vital the EC is to the
ongoing existence of USGenWeb. Without them we have no way to elect a
National Coordinator or Advisory Board representatives. States have no one
available to help conduct their elections. And we have no one to maintain a
complete, current membership list.
You can see the list of openings at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/2007-ec/volunteerneeded.htm -- plus
a second position for one year in SWSC because of the resignation of the
recent resignation of a member.
Availability during the summer months, attentiveness to details, and the
willingness to work are the primary qualifications, aside from membership
in USGenWeb. Suggestions can be for members in any XXGenWeb project. The
only ineligible members are those currently serving on the AB and those
whose terms are ending in December this year. The volunteer does not need
to live in the region s/he represents. I can say from personal experience
that it's a wonderful way to learn more about the project and to make some
new friends. The time you invest is amply repaid by the traditional warmth
and fun of the committee.
If you know of people who might be good prospects and willing to serve,
would you please send their names, email addresses, and the URL(s) of
their site(s) to the current EC chair Jo Branch at bjcb(a)bellsouth.net or
to the Secretary/Publicist Deb Gerischer at Bare67deb(a)aol.com.
The committee would deeply appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Greta Thompson
USGenWeb Advisory Board representative to the Election Committee
