Candidate Statements

Mike Semcheski

Its been an interesting year on the board. I am torn about running again. On one hand, I feel there is a lot of good left to be done. On the other hand, one of the things the current board has tried to encourage is contributions from members not on the board. So with that said, if I were elected, I would like to continue to chair the Internet Committee but also push the board to get more done this coming year. If not elected, I would like to continue to chair the Internet Committee but also push the board to get more done this coming year. I guess the distinction is in the style of pushing.
