Candidates

[Randy Groves]

Aki,

Here's my reponse and a little blurb.  I don't know if it's too late to
include or not ...


I will run for the board position.

I have been involved with the project from the beginning.  I think that I
understand both the vision and many of the nuts and bolts of implementing
the vision.  There are several places where I would like to see the new
organization improve upon what we have done so far:  involvement in the
communities of the Puget Sound region; health care issues - delivery,
support, information; support for economic development in the communities;
other uses of the 'network' that we have constructed (both human AND
machine) in support of community building of all kinds; and of course
fundraising and sponsorship.  We have the makings of a great project here -
let's let people know about it!!

I am interested in moving the organization to the next steps, but being
sensible about it.  We need to be able to fully walk before we can run.
