It is an honor and a privilege to be selected as a candidate
for Chairman-Elect of the House of Delegates -- a body critical
to the harmonious running of our Association's affairs. Ours
is a science-based, professional association, and the House
needs to run smoothly and democratically so we can devote
our precious volunteer time to addressing scientific and professional
issues. Much of the House activity in recent years has been
too political for my liking and I would like to help change
that. We must manage the business agenda of the House and
its committees by being thorough in consideration of the issues,
but concise in debate; and while debate should be open and
free, the will of the majority must rule once the Delegates
have made a decision.
I would be delighted to serve as Chair of the House, but pledge
my support to work with Mike Party in whatever capacity he
might wish if he is elected.

It
is indeed a privilege and an honor to be chosen as a candidate
for Chairman-Elect of the House of Delegates. We work in one
of the most exciting professions in the world and the AAPG
is the premier organization of our profession. I joined the
AAPG my senior year in college as a junior member and became
an active member in 1981. My professors at the University
of Missouri-Rolla knew the value of an AAPG membership to
their students as they embarked on their careers in geology.
It is our responsibility as a member of this great organization
to ensure that it remains so. The AAPG would not exist without
the continued commitment of it members. This commitment comes
in many shapes and sizes, from the people working behind the
scenes to the elected officials center stage. My involvement
with my profession started in college when I volunteered as
field trip chairman for our geological society and has continued
to this day by serving in many capacities for the local societies
as well as the AAPG. It is with this commitment in mind that
I accepted the candidacy for Chairman-Elect of the House of
Delegates.
The Chairman-elect will have a seat on the Executive Committee
and have input into the policies and direction of the AAPG.
It is the responsibility of the AAPG leadership to always
look for ways to help its membership. The AAPG has a large
and diverse membership. As leaders of this organization we
have to be cognizant of this fact. These diversities come
in several forms, from small independents to those working
in large companies, to persons exploring and working in the
U.S., and to members that are exploring and living worldwide.
