I second Patrick.
Thanks guys - I accept.
I'd like to nominate Phil Ginsberg for Technology Director. He has put in extensive work on our awesome new website and understands what it takes to manage our digital assets.
I second
Thank you @jim_nelson and @PatrickG - that's really kind of you. I accept.
Hi all - as Patrick noted, I don't plan on running for sponsorship director again. I've been doing it for a number of years and with other things going on in life I don't think that I can do everything that I should for the role. That said, I'm not going anywhere and will happily contribute and assist whoever fills the role. The sponsorship agreement with RedBeard has another year on it and the relationships with Stages and others are largely self sufficient. We do need another financial sponsor which is what the focus of the new sponsorship director will need to be and I can provide some assistance memorializing the deal with them.

If anyone knows of a business that could / would sponsor our cycling club, please message me and we can discuss the approach.

The role can be quite fun if you like learning about new products and discussing relationships with the companies that make them. If anyone wants to learn more before throwing their hat in the ring, feel free to contact me.
Nominating @Todd McLoughlin as Secretary. He's helped us navigate the stormy waters this year with a steady hand. Also he has a PC laptop. 

I'd like to nominate Mark Taylor for Development Director. He has years of riding experience and a good handle on what it takes to develop as a rider, racer, and team member.
And I second Todd for Secretary.
I’d like to nominate Eloy Anzola for Public Relations. Not only did he establish look sharp rides but he has done a solid job maintint our social media presence this year.

Thank you @jim_nelson and @PatrickG -  I accept.
Not sure if I am supposed to wait for a second, but I'll be happy to run, and if so elected, continue as Public Relations.

Sure have some ideas on what I need to improve -- for example, keeping the club in the loop about the board's meetings, thinking, and decisions.
Second Eloy for Public Relations.

Happy nominating!

I'll guess I'll be the first to break the ice on this one. I'm happy to keep on for another year as our director of technology. I'm pretty handy when it comes to all things related to online tech—from writing code to designing interfaces—and I'm a naturally curious person, so I love exploring new tools for the evolving needs of the club. Since I am not in the habit of winning races for Kissena, the above is about the best thing I have to offer. ;-)
I’d like to put John Olsen forward for the development position
