I do not post often on forums, but since Mr. McMillan opted for The Forum to present his platform statement for election for the Director at Large seat on the NACD BOD, so I’m compelled to enquire. Mr. McMillan, it looks to me that your platform is a little fuzzy; maybe you could answer 3 questions for me, in hopes of clarification of your intentions and to set strait the record.

NACD is our organization, an organization of members and volunteers joined in a common cause for the betterment of the Cave Diving Community. I hope it was and will be yours as well if you are elected to this important position on the BOD that you seek.

The questions are as follows: (please answer them as directly as you can)
• How many NACD BOD meetings have you attended in the past? (You can go back as far as memory serves you.)
• How many times and what NACD functions have you attended? (Socials, cleanups, Seminars etc.)
• Have you donated anything to the organization? (Maybe time as a volunteer at Seminars, socials or any of the many committees? Like; items for many different events sponsored by the NACD? Donations (money) for many worthwhile causes championed by NACD and its members?)

Please be specific; after all it is our organization which is solely dependent on our volunteers and the quality of our instructors for growth and prosperity. Good luck to you Sir in the election.
