ODTUG Board Nomination

I would like to announce that I am running for the ODTUG Board of Directors.  I submitted my nomination this past weekend and I am hopeful I will gain enough votes to be elected to the board.

Below is my campaign statement and Bio.

Voting opens October 7 - October 28 for ODTUG members with a full membership.

I hope you will please vote for me. Thank you.

Campaign Statement:

I have been involved with ODTUG since June 2008.   That year I knew ODTUG was special and my career has never been the same as a result of my involvement.  I would like to continue giving back by becoming a member of the ODTUG BOD.

I have had amazing opportunities working with ODTUG.  I was the president of the ODTUG Hyperion SIG, Vendor lead for KScope12/13, and this year I am the business content lead.  In the years I have been involved with ODTUG I have tried to promote the growth and well being of the organization.  I was instrumental as president of the Hyperion SIG in driving content expansion and I was a strong contributor to building out vendor participation.   I have worked closely with ODTUG, I understand what the organization stands for and how it operates, I am certain I can be a significant contributor as a member of the board.

As a member of the board I will

·      Dedicate myself to making sure the organization stays focused on users and provides an exceptional experience and level of service to each member. 

·      Promote the EPM community tirelessly, but not at the expense of other Oracle technology tracks.  I believe there is room for everyone and we can continue to grow the breadth and scope of the technology areas we focus on.

·      Ensure ODTUG remains the premier provider of in depth Oracle content.

Please vote for me to become a member of the ODTUG Board of Directors.

Thank you
