Question for the Candidates - Positions, Writing and activity

Posted by J Ridgley in Question for the Candidates - Positions, Writing and activity
Hello!

So this question first is for Dave Eads.

Having recently stepped down from a command position for particular reasons do you now believe that you have the time and dedication to become VP now and looking into a possible future term, do you see this effecting your writing?

This question is then open to any candidate to question;

Do you believe during your term you would continue to be active on your ships or is there a small thought in the back of your minds that you may already be thinking already or further down the line have to drop them directly because of holding this position and how this effects the writing and creativity aspect of STF not just in your own holding of a position but for any position held by anyone.

And secondly, for anyone holding a position do you believe a position comes before a ships character/writing or after.

(Disclaimer: by position I refer to any off ship roles in office.)

Kind regards,

Jake

Thanks for asking, Jake.

I’ll be completely honest here.

I do worry about my ability, quite frequently. It’s a balance I have struggled with before and will probably struggle with again in the future. It’s a struggle that’s more common in the club than most of us would like to admit.

That said, I decided to participate in the election because I felt I could add some harmony, and use the platform as a way to promote and encourage people to work together instead of allowing issues to divide us.

What I feel I can add is an avenue for communication, since I seem to get along fairly with people of differing opinion.

My primary goal is to do what I can do make this election less tense and encourage those involved to focus on what’s best for the club. It is a support role, which lends itself well to the VP position. In my opinion, anyhow.

I chose the role of VP because it is a support role, and not the big chair.

As long as we can get along, stimulate constructive discussion, and address needed changes, it doesn’t matter to me who ends up as the Exec. I just want to see the competing tickets actually work together once things are decided. I felt that my being part of the process might have some small impact on that.

I hope that helps you understand my reasoning, and please feel free to ask myself or Matt absolutely anything, going forward.

Thanks,
Dave Eads
