New job

I had previously decided not to run for CCC president for 2008 (though I look forward to continuing service as Past President) and take a while off from the job to work on my own kayaking skills as well as my kayaking instruction, but I was approached by a friend who is a current member of the board of directors of the American Canoe Association (ACA) about joining that national board as an appointee to fill a recent vacancy as well as running for that vacancy when its normal term ends this year. After talking with ACA president Kirk Havens, I decided it was an honor and privilege to be given the chance to participate and decided to say yes. A vote by the ACA board on Sept. 25 confirmed that appointment. I'm looking forward to utilizing my water quality background to participate in ACA conservation and stewardship efforts and my CCC background to help ACA work with paddling clubs to the benefit of both.
