Let me put this clearly. I will and have *twice*; ran for the board.
Nothing has changed in this regard, except my feeling that I genuinely
can contribute. The first time I was a candidate, I thought the best
contribution would be to stand out and keep the debate of
candidateship on an even keel. The second time I wanted to present a
genuine challenge to the incumbents (both female), without causing
antagonism. The next time, if it comes to be, I will genuinely strive
to get on the board, without regard to who is the other party/parties
involved. Nuff said.
