[nabs-l] President for the student division

[Karl Martin Adam]

Hi Shikha,

Why do you want to run for president of the student division?  
It's very unusual for someone who isn't on the board of an 
organization to start out working with that organization by 
running for president.  Perhaps you could consider running for 
one of the board member positions and serve for a couple years 
before running for president.  If you did that you'd be able to 
see what the duties of the president are by observing the 
president you're working with.  Also, just a point of advice, I 
would never vote for someone who based their candidacy on the 
fact that they're opponent didn't know a pledge.  That's 
completely irrelevant to whether someone can do a good job as 
president.  A good candidate is involved with the organization 
they want to serve on the board of enough to know what the duties 
of the position they're running for are and has something they 
want to accomplish on the board beyond just being on the board.

Subject: [nabs-l] President for the student division

Hello,
I know that i have asked this question in the past, but only one 
person replied back to my question.
Our state convention for georgia is next Friday on October 10th, 
11th, and 12th and i would like to run as president for the 
student division.
The problem is that i do not know what a president does for the 
student division.
Also, i am not sure what i should say in my speech so people will 
vote for me.
All i know is that the other person that is running for president 
does not know the NFB pledge, so i will be mentioning in my 
speech that i know the pledge and i will call on a random member 
on the board to say it.  If they do not know it then they will 
have to pay a quarter.
The reason that i know that he is running is because he told me 
when we went on a mentoring trip few weeks ago.
He does not know that i am also running.



Shikha.
