Here are the ground rules for this thread:

1) Before nominating someone, be certain that they will accept the position.

2) Volunteers/Nominees please introduce yourself, provide a brief detail of what you do, where you live, and add your first name to your signature (if it isn't already there).

3) You must be a Ohio Chapter member and resident to make a nomination or volunteer for the position.

4) Participation in this thread is limited to Ohio Chapter members who are residents and site staff.

5) Please keep on topic. Any off topic postings in this thread will be removed

 

If no one else is willing to volunteer I will do it. If someone else wants the job I have no problem letting them take it, but I don't want us to go "unleaded",lol.

 

delete please

 

Nate and Kevin, please re-read #2 and respond as requested.

 

Sure thing! I guess most of that information is a part of my signature already, but some is not not so here goes. My name is Nathan, most people call me Nate. I live in the country between Wooster and Smithville Ohio, and I work in Orrville as a Facilities Coordinator for the corporate offices of a local company. I drive a 1996 F-350, Crew Cab Long Bed, 4x4 with a 7.3 Powerstroke as my daily driver. This truck is the symptom of a hobby and a way of life for me and it is what keeps me coming back here to FTE. This place keeps me interested in it and I am slowly improving and restoring it as time allows. I believe that there is something inherently valuable about having the tools and skills to be able to fix your own things and this truck is just an extension of that belief.

With all that said, if Kevin would really like to have the job of chapter leader, I won't stand in the way. I just don't want to see the Ohio chapter go without a leader because no one was willing to step up and take the responsibility. Kevin has been an FTE member a lot longer than I have, that's for sure.

 

I'd like to see someone with drive and desire to lead us. Nate Has my vote. You did a nice job of telling a little about yourself and your "ford" fun.

 

Does that mean you're withdrawing your name from nomination, Kevin?

 

Yes please remove me as a candidate.

 

It looks like Nate is interested in a job..... The pay is awesum!

 

LOL, no offense to FTE, but the pay is not why I am here. This place has taught me everything I know about the 7.3 PSD, and being a Ford truck man I intend to be here a while.

 

Good Nate, then you won't be disappointed.

 

You forgot the perks George and Unlimited Vacation schedule.... Guess I need to stop by Wooster on my way to Medina and fill him in, you know, the hand shake and all.

 

I've been a member of this chapter for a LONG time and an FTE member in a previous life going back to when we didn't even have a message board like this one. If I remember right it was via emails...

I would outright volunteer, but I think anyone who takes on the responsibility has to be more "hands on" then I have been in the last few years.

Sounds like we have a few guys who "will do it if no one else will" but I guess I'm throwing my name in that same hat.

My name is Randy, I drive a 2002 F-250 4x4 (again). I coordinated the meet-and-great at Bob Evan's which seems like 100 years ago now!! haha!! I also designed the Ohio Chapter logos that we still use....I think... Maybe this could be a reason to get more involved in this chapter for me.

 

Good to hear Randy. Participation coincides with personal life on how much time you can spend on the forums, so do not feel that post count should influence a decision on the future.

 

OK, I take back what I said about not posting enough - I forgot how little posting happens in this forum!! haha!!

How does this happen, do we vote? appointed? And when will we know?

thanks,
Randy
