US Team Committee Election Underway

[Ken Sorenson]

Two positions on the 2012 US Team Committee are up for election. All SSA
members are eligible to vote at
http://adamsfive.com/soaring/survey/surveys.php. The election is open until
January 9.

The US Team Committee manages the pilot selection, organization, and funding
of the SSA teams which compete in World Gliding Championships (see more at
www.ssa.org > Sailplane Racing > US Teams). The committee consists of two
members appointed by the SSA Board (US Team Committee Chair and Contest
Committee Chair), three elected members, and the SSA Chair. The three
elected members each serve staggered three year terms.

Ron Tabery's term on the committee is up at the end of December. Doug Jacobs
is retiring from the committee after many years serving as committee
chairman. Bill Elliot was elected to the committee at the end of 2010, but
subsequently was appointed to the committee to replace Doug as Chair. Doug
agreed to serve the first year of Bill's 3-year elected term. This year's
election will select one person to fill the three-year position currently
held by Ron and a second person to fill the remaining 2 years of Bill's
elected term. Rick Walters continues to serve on the committee in his
elected position.

Candidates for the two positions were nominated by SSA's Regional Directors
and are: Sarah Kelly Arnold, Peter Deane, Sean Franke, John Godfrey, and Ron
Tabery.

Have the candidates posted manifestos or other information on their
positions on matters of interest to those eligible to vote? (Some I
can guess at, others not)
