Subject: Re: [Businessmtg] FW: Webmaster Position
Thanks Steve,
Actually it is not a requirement of a Regional Trustee or Trustee-at-large
to to have been a Delegate and at present 4 Trustees have never been
Delegates. I have never served as a Delegate.
I did research also and could not find anything that said that I could
not serve on the Steering Committee or Web-site as ASP is not a registered
group. I also spoke with the Chairman of the Board to ensure that it was
not a conflict.
I would be able to keep it separate and I do recognize that everything is
confidential which goes both ways.
However, all said I have decided to withdraw my resume. I was very
concerned that we did not have any resumes and with having a keen interest
I felt that I would submit my resume. As I currently hold a position
in Al-Anon and I believe in getting more people involved in Al-Anon service
I choose to withdraw my resume.
Thanks for your consideration.
Sandie Dagg
