IA4WDC OFficer Elections

[packman73]

Okay folks, the IA4WDC Elections are fast approaching (December) and we as a club need to decide who we are going to vote for. Please review the following list and then PM me your vote for each officer. If you have questions as to who any of the folks below are, I can ask them for a brief write up as to their credentials. Since I'm the current TCC delegate for the association, I'll make sure that we are represented in the vote. However, due to the timing of the next meeting, I may not be able to attend (baby due date) and I'll make sure we have representation there.

Thanks again and I hope to hear from you all.
