At the Battle Ground, Washington IBC, we had a business meeting at lunch. It was brought to our attention that Theophilus would be stepping down as State Coordinator, so we spent time discussing and deciding who would be taking his place.
First we decided if we would make the decision at the IBC, or defer it to a later date. Everyone in attendance agreed that we should make the decision now, while many of our Washington instructors were in the same room (this doesn't happen very often). Next, we asked for nominations to be made from the floor. First, Kimber Custom, one of our shoot bosses, was nominated. He lives in the Vancouver, Washington area, on the southern border of the state. Next, Fixer, an IIT with a lot of enthusiasm, was nominated. He lives in the Tacoma, Washington region, just south of Seattle. Nominations were closed and each candidate made a short speech to make the case for why they should have the job.
Secret ballots were distributed, votes were made, then the ballots were counted. Amazingly, we had a tie! What would we do to solve this dilemma? After some discussion someone proposed the idea of having them serve together. Kimber Custom brings a wealth of experience to the job, and Fixer brings enthusiasm and would like to help Appleseed grow in our largest population area, the Seattle metropolitan area.
Please join me in welcoming Kimber Custom and Fixer in their new roles as Washington State Coordinators. I'm sure they will be an outstanding team and they need our support to work on the mission in our state.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Theophilus for his service. He stepped down because he moved out of state and he will be sorely missed!
