Back in 2012 when we held our first elections this was my speech for the office of president. (First of two nominations for president and one as vice pres. during my time with JCRG)
Wow. Thanks-all of you! I'll cut to the quick folks, what we are doing here is creating the foundation on which, not only us, but our future derby sisters will build their legacies.
When you hear stories of how big things began - WE are that begining!
Accepting the nomination for president of our league is not something I take lightly. It is my sincere desire to ensure our success in establishing roller derby as a mainstay in Huntington West Virginia. When travellers ask "what is Huntington?" People will respond "Marshall University and Jewel City Roller Derby!"
Our community will be proud to acknowledge us and the good deeds of our outreach, charities and fundraising.
If elected, I will clearly communicate to our teak, our progress and execute our decisions with the precision and professionalism that I not only expect from myself but that you can rely on and deserve. I will oversee the operations of our league with the honesty, dignity, respect and humility that it is required from being chosen to serve such an amazing and talented group of athletes!
Thanks so much!
I have to admit to getting a little teary eyed, happy and angry while copying the speech here. More and more I'm starting see peoples true colors and it's very disappointing.
