Yowza, I’m elected to the STC Board of Directors! I’m signed up for two years of hard labour, but it is an honour to serve, and serve I shall.
I don’t need to write a long post here, just remind those of you readers who might also be STC members, that my issues won’t go away – you can see them all on this site, grouped as pages under The Power of Radical Persuasion.
I’ll keep people posted on STC activities from my new perspective in the same set of pages, and on twitter as @gallon4stc. This main posting area will continue to be separate, devoted to real communication issues.
I would also really like to say how much I have appreciated this campaign, and that ALL the candidates have been good, worthy candidates. STC is lucky to have such depth of talent.
I also especially want to thank those members who voted. Not that many do, so if you did vote, even if you didn’t vote for me, you are a hero in my eyes. Thank you for voting.

Congratulations, Ray! As you board the ride, please fasten the safety belt securely around you and remember to keep your hands and feet inside at all times. 😉
Yeah, as Bette Davis said, “it’s going to be a bumpy night…”
