MNZ board nominations

[Paul Searancke]

It was never pushed by the anyone and I'm sure it was when there was actually a CEO and was in place well before the present regime but was never published in the mainstream. Always thought it was a good idea having associate membership.

I was part of the working group the prepared the current Constitution(under the previous Board) and I pushed really hard to get associate membership included. I did this because a number of club members from around the country said they wanted the opportunity to have a say but they don't race. What happened? Apathy resulted in very few joining as associate members.

So how is a member meant to make an informed decision on who to vote for when there is only a few short paragraphs about each candidate?

Background on someone is nice but what I want are (and lets be honest this is a political election) some mission statements and promises, how about future strategies and plans to achieve them? How you can make me want to vote for you, and how my membership money will be used to better the sport.

Its not too much to ask from those that want to run our sport/hobby is it?

So my take of pros and cons (that I believe are worthy of mention and are purely based on my observations in my experience...take them or leave them). I'm sure many will have lots to say about these...and that is fine.

Jim Tuckerman:

Pros

1. Managed to get MNZ to a 200k profit this term.
2. Not afraid of making drastic changes...gets things done.
3. Lives and breaths our sport
4. Can grow more facial hair than I ever will.

Cons:

1. Too abrasive in some instances...personal demeanor lets himself down
2. Too autocratic to maintain a healthy democratic organization going forward
3. Appears to need to work on being able to take advice from his peers better.
4. Steps outside his realm of authority (which is kind of #2 as well)

Chris LawrAnce (see spyda...I do take notice ;-))

Pros:

1. Very approachable and seems to listen well
2. Not afraid of standing up for what he believes
3. Very passionate about our sport
4. Has run very successful motorcycling events (I attended the 3 hour 2 years ago and was the most enjoyable event I have entered)
5. Has fresh ideas for the future of our sport and has shared them prior to vote end.

Cons:

1. Has yet to prove himself in the MNZ environment (the devil you know scenario)
2. Maybe too nice to get things done as timely
3. Lives in West Auckland

I expect this may generate some more posting to help get us to the magical 50.
