I am running for the BJCP Board of Directors for the Midwest region. This region includes Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Tennessee. You can see my statement of candidacy on the BJCP website - http://www.bjcp.org/electioncenter.html If elected, I will strive to be an activist on the board, serving as a conduit for issues that are important for BJCP judges in the region. I am from here in Chicagoland and know a great number of you from judging together or otherwise working together on various competitions and the like. I am certainly always available to hear whatever gripes you might have regarding judging and the BJCP! As we know, there have been some major mismanagement issues at the BJCP over the last few years, and it is important for trustworthy people to be in oversight of this body so that BJCP members will again have good will and trust in the operation of the organization. I am a good man for the job. Gordon Strong is also running for the board in the Mid-Atlantic region. He is of the same mind-frame as I am, and together we could make a difference on the BJCP board. If you are a BJCP judge, please take the time to read the statements of the candidates on the BJCP link above. Even if you decide that someone else is a better fit for the job than myself, please vote in the election. It is your organization, and you can make your voice heard! Thanks!
