Since I received Anna’s resume in time for me to post it to the Business Meeting before Midnight tonight, Monday, November 8th, the Q&A period will be extended until Midnight, next Monday, November 15th, Pacific Time.  At that time link(s) to the poll(s) will be posted, the Business Meeting will be placed on moderated status to prevent any posting during the polling period.  As usual, the polling period will last one week, ending on Monday, November 22nd at Midnight, Pacific Time.  You can stay up late or be the early bird in the morning.

That’s assuming they are elected, of course.  I just wanted to clarify that detail before that issue developed a life of its own.

I reach out to members that ask for ESH, and love welcoming newcomers. I have made several friends and met both my previous sponsor and current sponsor, along with sponsees here. I’ve also attended every business meeting since joining.

>    I am available daily. I check my email many times throughout the day. If a block of time was needed for a phone call or something specific, I am flexible with my schedule. I interact with ASP members daily, so no reason I couldn’t do more if needed.
