I appreciate everyone's vote, and I hope we can do good things together over the next 2 years. As Senior Druid, I see my and the witan's role as ensuring that all the practical and business tasks of CedarLight are performed competently, honestly, and openly so that the members and the general public can reach their spiritual goals. I want CedarLight to be a center of spiritual excellence that will help people to live rich and fulfilling lives.
Towards that end, my main business tasks, as I see them, are:
1) to keep the grove financially solvent and physically together, in the sense of keeping the building together
2) update the bylaws and policies of CLG, and keep them updated, so that we are on firm legal footing with everything we do.
3) Maintain good records that are transparent and easily accessible by the membership.
4) Ensure that the bylaws and policies are followed. In this way, I hope to create a welcoming environment for spiritual activity
5) Eliminate completely, or make serious steps towards eliminating, the lead in the building. The lead seriously reduces our flexibility with the building and costs us much money and man-hours. It also puts us at risk of devastating lawsuits.
6) Towards this end, raise enough money to achieve this goal
7) Be a good steward of our resources, using them judiciously to enable spiritual development for our members when possible.
Not sexy, I know, but the stuff of good administrators. I cannot guarantee success in every circumstance and situation, and I know I will make mistakes, but I promise that you will always have my best effort.
A note on communication. I do not use facebook. I treat facebook as your own personal thoughts, which are none of my business. If you have an issue or problem, please communicate with me directly. Cool.
Be excellent to each other.
