To run for the TECT board is a race against a collection of 'Career trustees”, wannabe politicians and ex-politicians, those who seek to carve out a cushy number by sitting on several boards to further supplement their lifestyle and popularity.
Before you vote, just ask yourself how well do you really know them? Maybe you met them once or maybe you have seen them in the media, photographed at the opening of an envelope and vying for their position to appear in the next UNO magazine. Just because they are familiar doesn't make them the best option. Look further at your candidates; dismiss those who should need to opt out of TECT decisions due to 'conflict of interest”, those with connections to TCC, TCVL or other beneficiary organizations.
And then there are the so called 'Unknown's”.
I'm putting myself out there as I want to participate in the growth of our city. I am highly qualified and respected in my field; I understand business and financial processes.
