everyone is asking so let me explain. I do not have access to over 100 email addresses. I do not add email address as I get them. Any one who I mentor did not receive the email. It went out to my personal contacts in my personal email address. I just counted and I have about 60 names in my address list and some of them are not IPSC related.
I am sorry to have cause a big stir, but felt that campigning was okay. So I will continue to campaign and feel that all the canidates have equal opportunity to as I have. If not more. Some of the canidates have more access to names than I do.
so with that said here is the email that I sent, and Good luck to all other canidates.
Well it’s that time again and the ballots are out. The last two years on the Board have been busy and rewarding for me. I would like to thank all you who had confidence in me and checked my name on the ballet two years ago. Thank you!!!
I look forward to the opportunity to continue on the Board. I have really enjoyed the mentoring program and look forward to continuing the program. The feedback I have received has been nothing but positive from new members and instructors. I feel that this is an initiative that needs to continue and I hope it will. The classifications have been a challenge but I see a system coming to light that will make everyone happy and I would love the opportunity to be a part of the implementation. As you can see there is still so much to do and I could not get it all done in the first two years. So it only makes sense to continue.
Other things I would like to see started and accomplished over the next two years:
• Some face-to-face meetings with the Board of Directors of IPSC Ontario
• More advanced Planning for our Ontario Provincials
• Meetings set up with our Club Reps to give them an opportunity to get together and discuss IPSC related agenda items - what’s good what not.
• The AGM as a separate event.
• Our Ontario Provincials awards ceremony better celebrated, recognizing all of our competitors more.
• Completion of the Constitution
• Classifications done electronically.
• A more communicative and collaborative board
A final thank you to all who supported me over the last two years and gave me the opportunity to give back to the sport and am asking once again for you to support me once again and vote for me.
Thank you. and my real name is: Rachel Blum
