“I am formally announcing my candidacy for the CASI Board of Directors, special election. For those of you that already know me, and the many more of you that don’t, here is a brief summation of my qualifications, experience and why I am seeking a position on the BOD.
I’ve been a chili cook since 1997 and have accomplished a few things over the years. I was Cowtown Great Pepper for two years and Great Pepper of the Year in 2006. Also won the inaugural one person show award in ’06 as Chief No Ponies.
I am retired, having been a businessman for 33 years in the advertising/marketing/public relations/sales promotion business. From this perspective I can applaud the efforts and accomplishments of CASI in the past years, but I can also recognize so much that can, and needs, to be done if we are to grow and thrive. I believe we have been stagnant recently and that the status quo has got to go. (Sounds like a campaign slogan.)

If elected I will question and challenge how we as an organization do things, including the very structure and organization of the BOD. I believe there are things our pods can do and even the individual positions on the BOD can do to add value to their efforts to enhance CASI and further support our sponsors. I will push for more ‘original thinking’ up and down the line. I do not expect everyone to agree with everything, and positive debate is good, but we need to get away from the ‘this is the way we’ve always done it’ thinking and find new ways to get things accomplished. I will solicit and encourage input and thoughts from everybody, but I am my own person and have no ‘special alliances’. My only agenda is CASI.
