Posted: Tue May 27, 2003 9:12 pm
The Climber Advisory Election Results are in. I would like to thank everyone who agreed to be nominated for the council. I initially feared that it might be difficult to find eight people to replace the eight council members whose terms were up. It turns out to have been a bit more of a race than I first expected. We had thirteen people nominated for the eight open spots. This is a good sign for a healthy organization.
There was voiced some concern at the CDF that the people voting had no knowledge of whom they were voting for. A brief description was given of the nominees and basically I vouched for all the nominees climbing history and ability to give in quality input and the qualities they would be able to bring to the council. I must admit this wasn't perfect in allowing the nominees to have themselves represented, but as I stated at the CDF the most important qualifications are folks who have the best interest of the Red as a climbing resource at heart, show up for the meetings and can participate in a mature debate and can go with majority rule.
I think we have a great group of people and a good demographic sampling, in terms of locales the members hail from, there backgrounds in climbing, etc...
The climber Advisory Council will be-
Brian Burlier
Jason Burton
Sandy Davies
Scott Hammon
Steve Kaufman
Terry Kindred
Tim Powers
Mike Susko
Bill Strachen (returning)
Rob McFall (returning)
I will be in touch to notify all as to the 1st meeting. Probably in late June (28th Sat?)
Please send me your contact info.- both email and telephone # where you can be reached.
Thanks again to everyone who participated. The climbing community is the better for such a high level of interest. I hope those of you who were not elected will still be availabe to be called upon for your input and help.
