2008 Board Of Directors Election Update

[Wesley Tucker]

Nominations for the 2008 ISSA Board Of Directors have rolled in ahead of the Friday, October 5 deadline. So far the following ISSA member have accepted their nominations:

Richie Carrasco - USA
Gary Fluitt - USA
Daniel Gesmer - USA
Keith Hollien - USA
Peter Klang - SWE
Eddy Martinez - USA
Ron Olsen - USA
Paul Price - UK
Marcus Seyffarth - SWE
Jack Smith - USA
Wesley Tucker - USA

Remember, the Board is elected from the membership and the membership votes for the Board Of Directors. If you are not a member and wish to participate, join the ISSA now.

Also, in case there is any mystery as to where all this is taking place, here's the low down: there is a forum on Slalomskateaboarder.com restricted to ISSA members only. Ya' gotta join to participate. It's not secret, just restricted to the membership. I'll gladly answer any questions about the ISSA and it's agenda, objectives and performance.

Just for the record, there was some concern expressed about the number of American nominees compared to Europeans, Canadians and Australians. Know why so many Americans are nominated? Because so many were nominated. The nominations are open to ALL ISSA members and anyone who is a member may nominate another member. If you want your country represented in the election, then nominate a countryman or get a fellow ISSA member to nominate you. It's not difficult.

Look for more updates as the nomination and election process proceeds.
