I had my moto/business resume pre made months ago hoping something like this would come up. It took 3.2 seconds for me to apply . Fingers crossed waiting for the phone to ring

Well, I would be lying if I said I was not disappointed I did not get contacted about this position, but given my lack of a filter on certain topics, I cant say I'm surprised I didn't. But I have not given up hope. Hey, people can change, right?
Curious, Did anyone else hear anything? or if Alex is watching, any news? Don't know the history of the position but sounds like something a few of us could do very well.

They're still working on it......last I heard.

 

[Alex186]

No... we are still collecting resumes. Kip is in California for the California Classic and I've been busy with the Area Qualifiers and playing catch after spending two weeks in Texas for the Spring events. We hope to start calling candidate's soon.

Also... I received a few texts... No, I've not resigned. I've worked hard, played the game and moving up the ladder. I guess I'm living the American dream. Hopefully I can actually do some of the things I feel are really important in this new position to help the sport.
