2010 National Forest Homeowners Vote-By-Mail Election ~ Insights by Sharon Karr

The NFH annual election is in process. The ballot and candidate statements are included with the spring NFH "Call to Convention" newsletter that is arriving in your mailbox this week. There are multiple candidates for each of the NFH positions that are open.

The Pacific Northwest has a strong slate of candidates. I'm requesting that you review the Oregon, Washington and Idaho candidate statements. I have either worked with or reviewed work by each candidate over the past two years on Cabin Coalition 2. I can personally recommend their commitment and steadfastness to NFH and the cabin program. Among the strongest, and a proven and able leader within NFH and C2 is Pete Bailey, candidate for NFH President. Pete deserves your vote.

Oregon cabin owners have not had NFH representation for several years. Oregon is second only to California in the number of cabins within its borders and we need representation. Brad Aspell with life-long roots at Lake of the Woods, is running for a NFH Director position, and myself, Sharon Karr from Diamond Lake, is running for NFH Treasurer. I ask for your support of fellow Oregonians.

I also highly recommend Barry Davis and George Cardinet as exceptional candidates. I believe equal geographic representation is imperative in understanding and addressing the issues before cabin owners nationwide. And don't overlook the Nominating Committee. They locate, meet, interview and bring forward the very candidates I'm asking you to vote for. Again the Pacific Northwest has able leaders up for election to this important committee.

If you have questions for any of the above candidates, I can put you in touch via email or phone. If you have your NFH ballot and do not know your NFH member number, there will be a postcard containing the number in your mailbox within days. Also, your ballot will be counted if it is received by the April 2, 2010 deadline even if you don't have your NFH number. So with or without your member number, VOTE!

Your vote counts and is IMPORTANT!
