Campaign Stuff

The word is out - I sent my campaign statement out to many editors across the U.S. to publish in their next issue. Some editors wanted to keep national politics out of their communiques - for which I do not blame - because us candidates have other venues where we can espouse our opinions - the Bulletin, for instance. Some editors said they were waiting for my statement; they did not want to publish one without the other. Going for a balanced perspective.

I am pleased that I was able to correspond with many editors - they were without exception, respectful and cordial. But then I assumed that from the beginning.

So here is my statement for any of you bloggers out there:

Elissa Rudolph for Chairman, American Mensa Ltd.

American Mensa elects a new chairman come July—a chairman who looks to the future while paying homage to the past and recognizes how organizations evolve with the ebb and flow of changing demographics. I would be honored to lead our organization as it reaches its 50th birthday next year and safeguard its future with a strategic plan created by dedicated members over the last couple years. I am looking ahead, feeling confident that what I have to offer will appeal to our veteran members while capturing the enthusiasm of our younger members so that together we continue to strengthen and grow our society with opportunities for all. Chairing the World Gathering in 2006 convinced me that greatness happens when Mensans of all backgrounds and experience work together. The Mensa round table has room for everyone; I want to look across it to see you there. Visit my website (www.elissa.com) and my blog (http://hermensauniverse.blogspot.com/) or throw a sheep at me on Facebook. Ask me for my business card that says it all: elissa12@bellsouth.net. And thank you for reading this.
