[TriLUG] Nominees for TriLUG Steering Committee -- Elections tomorrow

[David R. Matusiak]

Hello TriLUGgers!

I just wanted to say "Hi!" and present some reasons that I am 
interested in working with the Steering Committee for TriLUG.  I have 
been involved with TriLUG since late 1999 and have always found group 
membership to be beneficial.  The list is an invaluable source of tech 
information and the meetings are often quite jovial yet informative.  
And you can't really beat the free pizza!

 From my perspective, TriLUG has greatly benefitted from strong Steering 
Committees over the past two to three years.  (Again, thanks to Kevin 
Sonney and Mike Johnson for their endless efforts!)  One thing I have 
always noticed is that the SC is usually comprised of the most 
knowledgeable and generous members we can find and this has worked out 
well.

One change I had seen lately was that Lisa Boyd was on-board and she 
was doing a fantastic job with TriLUG community outreach and public 
relations.  I was sorry to see Lisa depart from that position, and it 
made me think that perhaps this was an area that TriLUG needed some 
help in.  In general, I think all active members do a good job of 
presenting the group, but often there has to be one individual who can 
send out major correspondence and arrange larger events (installfests).

 From the list of nominees below, I am most certainly the least-gifted 
in terms of technical skills, but perhaps the SC would like some help 
with "soft skills" in relation to bringing in new members and promoting 
the group throughout the area.  Regardless, I encourage you to choose 
the best candidates for the job and based on those nominated, you 
shouldn't have a hard time.  :)
