Not my claim. That was a quote from a question from a member of the Kansas Section.

I have been a member of ARES and am listed still on a roster or two. As I have already mentioned, I have RACES, SHARES, and Skywarn experience in addition to the ARES experience.

This has been addressed on the blog. Please review the information there.

Yet, the short answer is No.  I did not fill the SEC post when I was section manager.

>>> Why?


Because I had an award-winning SEC at the time who did not need replacement.

Secondly, I am not elected yet. I've already stated I won't fire anyone who wants to work. I can't appoint anyone who won't apply, until after I am elected.  The Section Cabinet is readily available so one can see who is and is not SEC.

Perhaps the lack of applications is why the incumbent has not appointed someone. I don't know, though.  Maybe you should ask him. 

Thanks again for the interesting questions.

 

The postman picked up my ballot.  Has he picked up yours?   VOTE.
