I think we should get some discussion's going on how BNT is going to go about getting a new president and who people think or would like to see in the staff positions. Also if anyone out there is interested in taking on the roll of President let us know.

Thought, opinions?

Right off the top three quality guys come to mind
I would like to consider Chris Zelenka, Mitch Teman, and Paul Miback.
These guys have a good grip on what’s going on and on how things should be dealt with.
Would like to see one of these guys or someone step up and take charge.

Leadership is a big responsibility and a representation of this fine club fishing circuit.

This person would have to give 100 percent.
Someone that won't be held up with other restrictions and conflicts would be my choice of candidate.
The person who can demonstrate a strong leadership and strive for excellence will get my vote.

Wish all well

PS Yo Lake, will we be taking a vote sometime before the years end?

Voting is the question, I would imagine it should take place before the 2006 season, but thats soemthing for the members to decide.

I think voting is the way to go.I guess that means we will have to have a meeting of the club.

Oh no BNT having a meeting, couldn't be. Yep, I think we should vote on it,the only thing I could think of was that it will be really hard to get all three regions together so it might be more efficient to do it by mail, I don't know where we could do this at to include the shasta folks. Unless maybe the BNT folks could meet saturday night at the delta open, or the clear lake invite.
I personnally feel if this is a position Paul wants he should be the one to get it, he understands the workings of the club on all levels better than anyone. While I appreciate you JC for thinking of me, there is no way I could committ myself to this position, I have many potential options in the next year or two that might require me to move from the area, and the last thing I would want to do would be to have to bail on you guys.

So will the club be able to hire out the duties of Mr. Lake for MC at the Opens or are we going to be needing to find a replacement fo that positions as well, come on I know you want to hit me with a pack of senkos :7

Thanks JC for the vote of confidence. However I will go along with CZ. I believe Paul should be the next BnT Prez if he wants the job. He has always had the best interest of the club at heart and his knowledge of the inside workings of the club is invaluable. Paul has my vote :P I would like to continue with my role in the club and maybe take on some more responsibility as needed but I don't think I could commit as much time as Paul is doing already.

I also like the idea of having a meeting at the end of the year to talk about ideas and concerns. We need to continue to grow the sport of kickboat and float tube bass fishing and continue to grow BnT as a club. An annual meeting might be a good place to put things on the table for discussion. I know this would be difficult with our members spread out all over the state. Just a thought.

I know there must be lots more opinions on this. Lets hear them. I was holding out on my reply to see what others think. There have been 92 views of this thread and only 4 replies. That's feeble guys, every opinion matters. Lake put this out for discussion to hear your opinions. He already knows mine, now you all do too!

Hey Mitch,

Now I've posted! :P

I do think the choices JC put down are top notch and it sounds as if FIT seems to be the one. I know I have worked with him along with John for many different reasons and know he'll do a great job if he accepts the post.

Something that will have to be done going forward is putting down the ideas and direction BnT along with SCBBBC wants to persue. I know much has already probably been discussed about this but it still seems to me we need to work closer together to make all of our futures brighter.

I know I will help if asked (and sometimes give my opinion even when not asked! :P ) and think there could be some big things to come for our sport along with fishing in general. Again, if we work together on this.

As always, thanks for listening,

Todd

Well, from what I read here, FIT would be the best FIT, since Mightyman & cz don't feel they can commit to such a responsibility. As for me, you guys know I can't even be counted on to make a quarter of the schedule myself, so I'm certainly far from being a viable candidate.

Anybody else care to step up & be voted upon??? We sure can't let this great thing that John has started *DIE* because of lack of interest, just cuz he's stepping aside!


C'mon, dudes, let's go! Someone's gotta rise to the occasion! Let's see where this next step into the wild blue leads us -- the path has been paved!

I think Paul should definitely take over for John in '06. He has proven that he is very dedicated to the club and takes everything seriously.

We should try to have an annual meeting but yes it would be difficult to get everybody together. I like CZ's idea for a meeting at the Delta Open. Maybe the Opens can serve as official meeting times to discuss club business mid-season and possibly make any changes that are necessary. For example: no more sundowners!! x(

Just thinking if FIT was to decide on taking on the roll of BNT’s Pres.
The job of Vice Pres. Will come available – this job alone has a great demand and large responsibility.
Just ask FIT :) this guy has put A LOT of time and energy (Hard Work) in this position of current V.P. & the position of Travelers Region T.D.
This guy has done it all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also think of the other positions that are going to be available.
Who's going to step up in leading rolls like Vice Pres. ,Tournament Directors, TD assistants or just helping out.

Perhaps will cross this bridge when we all can get together??
Would like to see people step to the plate :o

Anyone with more thoughts?

Thanks Todd, you make some great points and I agree that we need to get closer together on working towards the future. I believe that right now we are on the edge of bigger and better things. For example, what Rich is doing. How cool is that?
