Would you please forward this email to your State list? Thanks, Suzanne Shephard SEMA candidate Hello again,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> For the second time in about as many months, I am asking for your vote to place me in the SEMA CC Rep position! My undying thanks to all those CCs who voted and helped me get this far <g> but with only a 5.641% difference between my opponent, Fred Smoot and myself, we are down to crunch-time! 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! These are the qualities and promises that I will bring to the position of SEMA CC Representative, if elected. I will always listen and weight the concerns of my fellow CCs in any decision that I make. I know you cant please everyone but I will try to make fair and workable decisions that will hopefully, benefit the CCs in the SEMA region. If you have any questions regarding my candidacy or personal information, please contact me at <mailto:syshephard@charter.net>syshephard@charter.net You have the privilege and the right to make your personal choice for the position of SEMA CC Rep. Make your voice heard in the USGenWeb Please Vote!! Thank you, Suzanne Yelton Shephard No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
