<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>To GPSCC and GPSMC Members:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>This email serves as my Candidate's Statement and Biography
for purposes of consideration for </FONT><FONT size=4>election to the GPCA
Coordinating Committee as "Regional Representative" for the Silicon </FONT><FONT
size=4>Valley Region (Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties). As some of you
are aware, I have resisted </FONT><FONT size=4>volunteering for this position
because of my other GP time and energies commitments. After a </FONT><FONT
size=4>lot of thought, it appears that it is time for me to "move up" to this
next level of service. If </FONT><FONT size=4>elected I will transfer my
available GP time and energies from work on the GPUS California </FONT><FONT
size=4>Delegation and GPUS committees to CC work (although I would plan to
remain on the GPUS </FONT><FONT size=4>Presidential Candidates Support
Committee).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>As indicated below, I have a significant background in the
Campaign and Candidates Working </FONT><FONT size=4>Group, some in the Electoral
Reform Working Group, and almost four years as a GPUS </FONT><FONT
size=4>Delegate. I also have participated on the Co-Cos Group for four
years and remained an observer </FONT><FONT size=4>during the last
year. I have participated in the preliminary budget committee discussions
for the </FONT><FONT size=4>last five years, and I have some experience with
events planning. I have on a number of </FONT><FONT size=4>occasions
presented the Agenda Packet for local discussions and I have attended many state
</FONT><FONT size=4>party meetings as a Plenary delegate. I also have
occasionally observed pre-Plenary in-person </FONT><FONT size=4>CC
meetings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I do not operate a motor vehicle, and have some concern about
being able to attend any GPSMC </FONT><FONT size=4>meetings (I most attend the
GPSCC monthly general meetings). If affirmed in both counties, I
</FONT><FONT size=4>would strongly prefer that our alternate be a GPSMC
member. I will agree to serve a two year </FONT><FONT size=4>term and we
all can evaluate the need or good of my continuing in the position at the end of
that </FONT><FONT size=4>term.</FONT></DIV>
