USAT is conducting elections as ordered by a Blue Ribbon Panel created by the US Olympic Committee. The Blue Ribbon Panel found that the election was improperly conducted by certain members of the Board of Directors. These Board members cost USAT (and you and I as members) literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees because of their desire to hold onto Board seats despite knowing full well the improprieties of the election (and their involvement in those improprieties) Amazingly enough, despite being castigated by the Blue Ribbon Panel, these individuals are running again for a Board seat. It is imperative that these individuals be denied a seat on the Board of Directors. Please vote for former executive director Steve Locke for the at large seat and Dan Empfield for the western region seat. Both of these individuals have promised to return USAT to its members, something we have not seen in the last several years.

Now, he may not be my favorite AZ race director, but I think he’s on to something.

“is lew kidder running?”

yes, he’s running in central. he’s no nonsense, shrewd, intuitive, experienced, and plays well with others.
