Shortly before the convention, when you first indicated your interest in running for president, I told you that you had my whole hearted support. Since then Nate has "thrown his chip into play." It speaks very well for the club and it's future that there is such talent willing to step up to the plate and do the genuinely hard work of overseeing a very large and dynamic organization. I believe that both candidates have only the best interests of the club at heart. Were you not a candidate, I would have no problem supporting Neal. He has done a lot of good work for the benefit of the club, and I would hope that regardless of the outcome of this contest that you both will continue to have the best interests of ther club at heart.

However, I believe the future of the growth of the club lies in the online community. The internet has changed the way we all communicate and do business, and opened up opportunities for establishing a "community" of collectors in a way that it never existed before. You have demonstrated a willingness to be an active member of this community and a deep understanding of it's potential. As claims director, you have also demonstrated your unbiased sense of fairness and honesty, and I believe you will conduct the matters of the club so as not to exclude those who are not members of the online community.

I also believe that you are truly a collector. I like your style, I agree in every way with your platform, and I whole heartedly support your candidacy.
