Upcoming years officers

[bigben]

I am making this post to inform the membership that many of the current officers will not be running for next years offices. They have already given so much volunteer work to help keep the association moving in the right direction and i thank them for doing what they have through the years.  Nominations will be coming up in a few months and i would like to ask the membership to think about running for office later on this summer.

If there are any questions as to what the duties of any particular office are,
please post questions here.
Also, here is a link to the ppha bylaws that are posted in the top list of the "ppha club members" forum which are only visble to paid PPHA members.

I'd like to run for president of PPHA.

To re freshen

It would be great if we considered establishing a position of Legislative Director / Public Relations Officer to work with the pgc to advocate for predator hunting opportunities.  Just an idea...  Everything is so skewed to favor trappers in this state.   Nothing against trapping as I've been a trapper and am cable restraint certified.  Predator hunters just kinda get the shaft when it comes to the Bobcat.  It is like putting the deer rifle season before archery season..?  We are a low impact sport only taking at most 10-20% of the fox in PA.  While we are at it we may be past time for a fisher predator hunting season as well as an expanded trapping season for fisher as well.

Since no members have engaged on this post I'd like to throw out there that I think Joe Bizub or Ernie Wilson would make great presidents, Damian Fowler would be a great Vice President, Tim Decker a great secretary, etc.  Heck, if half of us spent 10% of the time on PPHA that we do surfing the internet...we collectively would accomplish amazing results!

That's a good thought, I'm sure that may be on the list for one of the things that an incoming president may want to do.

I was contacted and notified that I was nominated for the position of president of PPHA.  I also understand that Rick Comport was nominated to be president.  For club unity, I have decided to not run for president but to let Rick have the position.  After his term, if we need a president I would consider such.  I am not planning to run for any positions or accept any until that point in time.  I wish Richard Comport much success.
