Candidate’s Statement
I am running for election to an At-Large position on the APS Board of Directors because I feel a deep responsibility to the hobby to ensure that the APS and its core services are available for future generations of collectors. I joined the APS in 1974 as a young adult, and the guidance and inspiration of the APS and its services have continued to enrich my enjoyment of life ever since. I am an active exhibitor and philatelic Chief Judge, an editor of three philatelic journals, an author of two Congress Book articles (2006, 2010), and three philatelic books based on my research. I have served in leadership positions for local and national stamp shows; a regional philatelic library; local, regional and international philatelic societies; and most recently as Chair of the APS Committee on Accreditation of National Exhibitions and Judges.
I am committed to support the completion of the APRL – it has meant so much to me as a philatelic author, editor and judge. I am retired from a career in financial management and audit, having held senior positions as well as managing my own consulting practice, and serving on the Board of Directors of my profession’s international governing body.
I want to serve the American Philatelic Society and you as an At-Large Director on the APS Board. I believe that my experience in nonprofit governance, consensus management, and my active participation in all dimensions of the hobby make me qualified to ask for your vote.
