[bfsa] FW: Nominations for BFSA Executive Officers

[Trev Watt]

Yulanda, 

Thank you for sending out the information, and thanks
to everyone who contributed to this process. I am
impressed. Most organizations that I have been apart
of or seen in action rarely ever have maximum
paticipation from its members under any condition. And
I acknowledge and give much respect to those who
decided to actually show up in spite of busy schedules
and other obligations. (Sorry I couldn't be there)

I think that the process is sufficient and should stay
the way it is. As esteemed disciples of your
profession, I trust your knowledge and thought
process. And whomever is elected will have my full
support. Thanks to all that were there and for those
that are always there, because without you, the BFSA
would be nothing more than an acronym.


Good job and keep up the good work.

Go BFSA and Go Barack OBAMA!!
