I would love to continue as scoring director if you will have me!

Most of you know me but for those who don't... I am married to Scott Gould & we have 3 boys, one of which is off at college most of the time. I live in Ward. I work for a pest control company in North Little Rock & have been there for over 6 years. I have been described by my boss as one of those loud Texas football moms, but I am an extremely kind person & try to treat everyone like I would want to be treated. I'm just a little loud. Lol!

I have missed 1 race in the last 3 years & don't foresee any circumstances preventing me from continuing as scoring director.

Not real sure how to do this. But I am happy with all the current officers and feel they have really worked hard at making some positive changes. As a promoter and having a child racing I have been very pleased with everyone. Each officer has made an effort to improve the series along with listing and taking an interest in new ideas. I feel this group has really placed the series a step above where we were, new web site, more involved, much more organized, rider numbers are up and race site quality has improved. I would like to see the current list of officers stay as they are and give them the chance to continue implementing some new changes and improvements. With that said I would like to nominate each officer back to their current position. Not sure if you are suppose to do that as a group, but if I need to nominate each one at a time I will do that.

I added to my original post. Sorry it took me a bit to get all the duties, perks, responsibilities, etc. added. I figured folks needed to know what they were getting themselves into. :D

I accept my nomination for Vice President.

My family and I have absolutely loved being a part of this racing family. I am a retired fire fighter from Fayetteville and own "Mossy Creek Cycle and ATV" a small independent shop in Madison County. I really want to see this sport and our series grow, to provide the same fun and enjoyment to others as it has for my family.
I have also enjoyed being one of the officers for the series this past year. Mainly because of the other officers. I have never worked with a group so willing to work with each other to resolve things that come up. Even when we don't agree, this is one diplomatic group and gets handled very professionally.
Thank You for letting me be a part of this during 2014, and hopefully 2015.

SEE YOU AT CROSSROADS!

I accept the batch nomination. I would be pleased to continue serving as WebMaster for the series. 2014 was a major overhaul of the site and some good progress was made but there's more to be done.

I entered my first Hare Scramble in 2010 and loved it immediately. I'm still learning how to race and become a better rider and I absolutely enjoy all that our series has to offer. My lovely wife Belinda and I reside in Little Rock. We have a young son, Luke who may be racing this next year in the PeeWee division. I look forward to watching him participate.

If elected, I will continue to find ways to use the website to assist promoters in providing news and information about their events. I will do my best to get new information online as soon as possible. This year I learned a very valuable lesson. Do not assume users can navigate the site with ease. So with that I wanted everyone to know when you visit the site Home Page and you find the Banner at the top which usually is a race promotion banner you should click on it. That navigates you to news and information about the race with more details.

Finally, as a volunteer I'm no expert and if you have suggestions for improvement please let me know and I will try to make the site even better.

I accept nomination to continue as Contingency Officer. I love being an officer and my AHSCS family. I sorry we have not been at as many races this last year, but have had some things we needed to deal with and I started a new job that requires me to work three out of four Saturdays a month. We hope to be back at it full throttle in 2015. I promise to continue working hard to move our series forward and to be here for all racers. Thank you,
