National VCA Officer Elections

[PCH VIPER]

With just a few more weeks before we head off to Charlotte N.C. for VOI-12, I wanted to put this on the table for our Club Members.

Just before VOI-12 officially kicks off, there will be a very important President's meeting on Thursday afternoon.
VCA Club business will be discussed and more importantly, we will be voting for the next National VCA Officers.

Regional Presidents and Board members will cast their vote based on their respective Region's desires, and what is determined to be in the best interest of the National Club as a whole.

To date, these are the only candidates that have stepped up for the 4 National positions:

VCA President candidates:   
Janni Cone 
Regional VCA Officer since 1999, most recently Southeast DAL.
High performance driving, autocross and road racing enthusiast.  Experienced with running an all-volunteer 501(c) (3).  Manages $550 M in corporate procurement contracts. Listens well and not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom.

Jim Bielenda
Brings almost 40 years of experience, in many different areas, that relate directly to running a car club and a business.

I am currently employed at Chrysler and have worked in various departments for over 30 years. Being from Michigan, I have been a member of Motor City Viper Owners from its inception, over 18 years now and served as the longest running Zone Director in the VCA.

I have been on the board in some capacity, for the remaining 11. I was previously awarded the position of VCA club advisor due to my contacts within Chrysler and my experience with VCA from its beginnings.
