Candidate Statement - President Steve Barker I joined SVR upon purchasing my first Porsche in March of 2011 thinking it might be a good way of meeting a group of people that shared their love for their car and to take part in touring N. California. I was nominated for VP and accepted the role for 2012. After my first year as VP I have really enjoyed the opportunities this club has provided through its events and was proud to be able to contribute in organizing club activities and maintain the calendar while ensuring that events were covered by insurance. As President, I believe the board should represent the club members in its decisions and direction. My goal is to reflect the member’s interests as President and continue to participate in as many events as possible. I respectfully submit my candidate statement for the 2013 position of SVR President. Steve Barker 2003 Boxster – Arctic Silver Candidate Statement - Vice President Rik Larson Thank you to whoever nominated me at the October Dinner (and seconded). Hopefully the outgoing Vice President will provide me with the support I will need in 2013. Be sure and vote. Respectfully, Rik Larson Candidate Statement - Treasurer Kirk Bradford I have been your treasurer since the beginning of 2012, and would like to continue to serve in the same capacity for 2013. Turning on the way back machine, I did previously serve as treasurer (in the 80’s?). Believe it or not, back then accounting entries were made manually on a 24 column ledger sheet with a pencil. The club’s current accounting software is QuickBooks, which has certainly made the accounting portion of the job much easier. I’ve been a member since 1973, and have also served in other board positions, including President. I really enjoy working with the board and all other members as we move forward with new goals and challenges. In keeping with my strong desire to further serve our wonderful club, I ask that you vote for me as treasurer for 2013. Thank you for your consideration. Kirk Bradford Candidate Statement - Membership Director Yvonne “Cookie” Anderson In the past I have held the office of Social Director and President for two terms. I have also been your Goodie Store chairperson for the past 4 years. For those that know me, know that I will do a good job. I hope you trust in me to follow the Membership responsibilities and give me your vote. Respectfully, Yvonne “Cookie” Anderson Page 8 the drifter - Sacramento Valley Region - Porsche Club of America - www.svr-pca.org
Candidate Statement - Social Director Eduardo Ortega Jr. Hello. I joined the Sacramento Valley Region on September of 2010. My national PCA Anniversary date is September 2007. As an active new member in SVR I quickly started participating in club events. At the New Member Tour on September of 2011 it was announced that Board elections were coming up, and the club was looking for volunteers to serve on the Board. Later on I was elected as your Social Director for 2012. When it comes to Club Dinners and Tours, I have worked this year with both seasoned members and new members. To all of them, I have provided my best efforts to get their budget proposals approved timely and to coordinate event promotion through the SVR Website, email Blasts, and in the Drifter. Not a single club dinner nor tour has been cancelled this year. The members’ participation has been constant. I ask you to re-elect me for the Social Director position for 2013. I will work closely with you to get your Club Dinner or Tour approved and get it promoted. I will look together with all of you for new venues and activities, especially for new members, I will be there for you helping you with your event. Finally, please come to the Planning Meeting in January where we can kick off the 2013 social events calendar with a blast!! Thanks for your consideration. Eduardo Ortega Jr. Candidate Statement - Secretary Matt Deter I joined PCA in 2003 after purchasing my first (and so far only) Porsche. I expected to have lots of fun driving the car, but I never expected to find such a great group of people to share that experience with. It didn’t take long before I became deeply involved in the club, first serving as Autocross Chairman and then Competition Director. In 2012 with your support, I returned to the board as Secretary. I would like to continue for another year and respectfully submit my candidate statement for the 2013 position of SVR Secretary. Thank you for your support. Matt Deter Candidate Statement - Competition and Safety Director Collin Fat I have been an active member of the Porsche Club Sacramento Valley Region since 2007. As an avid autocrosser and track enthusiast I have also participated in the many other activities the club plans annually such as rallies, concours, tours and dinner gatherings. I currently drive a 2003 996 Turbo. Married to wife Elaine for 30 plus years with two grown children, Natalie (28) and Bryan (23). As your Competition and Safety Director, I can bring my organizational and years of business experience to help: 1) improve participation in our events, with a goal of increasing new member participation 2) to provide effective marketing for our events , and 3) increase awareness of our competition events through our award winning website. As a passionate Porsche enthusiast I hope to continue the great job done by my predecessors, Bop Peake and Matt Deter to build our competition events into the best in our region. My past board experience is quite varied and locally I served six years on the board of the Roseville Chamber of Commerce with the last year as president. I currently serve on the board of the Sacramento Restaurant Association as vice president. Other boards that I have participated in include the Asian Pacific Business Association, and San Diego Community College Foundation. I understand that the success of any volunteer organization such as ours depends on volunteers who are willing to spend the time and effort to serve the club and will commit my energies enthusiastically.
