I am qualified to be a good representative because I have been playing tournament SCRABBLE since 1975 experienced what it is like to form and build a successful NASPA club, I have organized and directed NASPA tournaments, I have formed and served on NASPA Committees, and most importantly, I am a player who has attended so many clubs and tourneys throughout America and knows the distinction of challenges which exist in our playing more tournament games than any other player, a total community. I know the concerns of 8players,450. Moreoverorganizers, and directors because I served on have and continue to face the very same concerns. I can relate first Advisory Board in the early 1980shand. I am not hesitant to take a stand for what each of you are telling me you feel is important, directed several tournaments in even when that is a tough battle. Your voice needs to be heard. I frequently reach out to the NYC areadirectors and players to hear what their opinion is, served on the Tournament Committeeand I will fight hard for what you tell me you want. We have much to be proud of, but we also have a lot of room for improvement. We need to '''GROW''' our community by bringing in new players and reuniting with those who have taken a different path.

SCRABBLE has been an integral part of my life, and my experience, spanning four decades, has given me a good perspective on how SCRABBLE has evolved through the years.

I want to see our community grow and flourish and I want to be a good advocate Thanks for the membership. -->your support!
