Don't forget nominations close this Thursday

I nominate Adam Yaffe as secretary.

Thank you Thierry for kicking of the nominations!

You're most welcome Patrick.

I want to take this chance to thank the board for their good work during this last year. Matt et al, you've kept the ship on course and kept everyone safe and motivated. Also the donut jersey. 

I nominate Matt for Prez.

I nominate Michael Cumming for membership.

I nominate Patrick for Veep

Thanks John- i happily accept the nomination!

I think I’ve met most members by now, but just a little blurb about myself. I’ve been riding for close to 10 years now, and have been with the club since 2018. I think we made some meaningful progress this year, but there are still a number of things I want to see the club achieve this year. Chief among them are updating our kit, making training as accessible to all members, and continuing our prominence in the local community and getting as many people on bikes as possible. 

I happily accept!

Thank you, Rich, I'm happy to accept the nomination

I'd like to nominate Mr. Look Sharp for Development: Eloy Anzola

Hey all, glad to see some new names for the board positions. Since nominations have been trickling in slowly, Matt and I decided to keep nominations open a little longer. They are now open until Thursday the 16th. Please consider running and get your nominations in (yes, you can nominate yourself)

Thanks, Patrick, I accept the nomination for development

I'd like to nominate Patrick Grehan for Sponsorship Director. 

I accept the nomination for Sponsorship. Looking forward to trying my hand at a new position on the board. Solidifying current sponsors and bringing on some new ones will be a new challenge.

To all: don't be intimidated by the VP role: primary responsibilities are supporting/helping the Prez, running clothing orders and elections

If anyone wants any info on the social media position, let me know! It’s prob the funnest job on the board. 

I'd like to nominate Stephen Aschkenes for Tech director

@PatrickGrehan - Thanks Patrick!! I accept nomination for Tech Director

Would be delighted to nominate @James Reeder for Social Media/ PR. James is a great ambassador to KCC and I think would serve the team right! 

Thank you, @RobertMullen I accept the nomination for Social Media/PR

I’d like to nominate @ThomasChen for technology too!

Thanks Matt, happy to accept.

I’d like to nominate John Olsson for treasurer!

We still don’t have a nominee for vice-president. Please consider stepping up volunteer for this position

Thank you @PatrickGrehan, I accept my nomination for treasurer! 

A little about myself & what I offer if elected...

I've been a member of the club for 5+ years and have served as Membership and Development Director.

I've spent some time professionally on both sides of the budget (left and right) from a corporate cost reporting/forecasting perspective. I'm also pretty savvy in Excel and have experience collecting, analyzing, and visualizing data.

I also sometimes make my own bike snacks and know a thing or two about being resourceful and spending money wisely. Parmesan-covered potatoes are an odd, but excellent source of fuel on the bike 👌
