Thanks to the CCA Board and to Rick Timmins for forming the CCA Membership Committee and taking this positive and active response to our membership crisis. I am a candidate for the CCA Membership Officer in this Spring’s election and if elected I will fully support Rick and his committee in their important work. We must take and active and aggressive approach to growing our membership. This is a great first step. And if I am unsuccessful in my bid to be your Membership Officer I will join the CCA Membership Committee and share my time and ideas.
