OK guys. I think It's time for a chapter leader. I would like to see more participation in this chapter. Anyone that would like to take this position and volunteer post here. Anyone that wants to nominate someone from this chapter do so here. FTE is the best Ford site on the Internet, with no exceptions! Other chapters can do it so can we!

I'm not going to say we'll be the best on FTE, but we sure can try. I've lived in Oregon most of my life, and we have a bunch of great people here. How many of you would like to meet other Ford people? I believe we can do it! Anybody else think so?

I'll put my hat in the ring, and promise to work hard to promote this chapter.

 

Don glad to see you volunteer for the CL position. A most rewarding position it is!

Here are the guidelines for chapter leaders in case anyone has any questions.

FTE Ken provided the following information for chapter leader duties:

Here is a quick run-down of some of the Chapter Leader duties for anyone interested...

Quote:
The Chapter Leader is responsible for seeking out new Chapter members on the FTE forums (we provide the tools for this), overseeing the organization of events, meetings and gatherings. Additionally, we encourage Chapter members to seek out new members at auto shows, fellow Ford owners in the work place and Ford truck owners you may encounter in your day-to-day life. You may even consider telling local dealerships or auto parts stores about your Chapter.

 

A Chapter lead may also at times be someone who just keeps the doors open, and keeps it alive. I may soon be back in charge of the TN Chapter, due to frustration burnout syndrome with the current CL. A thing I understand, and that I have been studying for a while now...

It seems other Ford Truck sites may have collared the GTG crowd - so keep a spy eye on other truck sites. You might just find your own people "over there". What that means, and how it can work I just don't know yet.

FWIW

 

I will vote for youIt will be good to have someone take the controls of this chapter and get it moving.

 

About time all! An active Chapter Leader will make a big difference in your growth.


It would be great to have a dual G2G.

 

I vote for fabmandelux (Hope I spelled it right) I think if you are chosen we will have a great leader.

Don't you think that this is a bit on the paranoid side? If we're members/users of this site we're not allowed to use any other internet sites or is it just other Ford sites?

My vote is for fabman for sure!

Mike

 

Can I see a motion from an OREGON member to CLOSE the nominations??

Don if you would PM me your home phone no. and a good time to chat with you.

 

I will motion for the Nominations to close, 2nd?

 

I will second that nominations be closed.

 

OK a motion has been made and seconded to close the nominations for Oregon chapter leader.

Unless someone files a protest, by certified mail to IB Adrian within the next 5 seconds, I declare the nominations closed.

 

Don thanks for taking the time to chat with me tonight. I will get the ball rolling on having you installed as the First chapter leader for the great state of Oregon.

Congrats!

 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'd like to thank all the little people............

Seriously, I will try my best to make this chapter grow into something FTE will be proud of.

 

Congratulations Don, and an early welcome to the Chapter leader ranks.

(or is it rank chapter leaders?)

 

Thanks Steve! Feel free to post here often. This Chapter has been idle for too long..........I'm going to need all the help I can get
