It has been a busy month for me as your Director. I have been to several charter meetings and events since assuming the office March 11, 2006. I was invited and spoke at the TNCOC meeting. I have been to the capitol for our ROW bill, and a "meet the candidates" night, where I met the Republican Candidate for Governor, Jim Bryson. I have been reviewing the by-laws, and working out duties for different board members.

I am going to the MRF convention in April and the NCOM convention in May. This is in addition to handling the usual issues that come up in any organization. I would like to report that I and the other board members are settling in and learning to work as a team. We are working out any items that may keep us from our goals.

I believe the organization is moving in the right direction, with a new spirit of optimism and a desire to put the bickering of the past behind us and focus on our goals. I will continue to attend Charter meetings as I am able, and any charter that wants or needs to see me just has to let me know. I am committed to being available where needed. We can only succeed together. No one person can do it, so I am glad to receive your ideas, suggestions and yes, even criticism.

If you have a Charter problem, you should first speak to your Director before it comes to me. If you just want to ask a question or talk to your Director, my number is listed, so give me a call. I got to meet a lot of you during the campaign, and hope to meet the rest of you soon. I need the support of you the members. Without it, I can accomplish nothing.
