Fellow Colonials & Members of the Fleet,
I have a special announcement to share with all of you.
Firstly Herb Brunner has accepted appointment as our new Director of Media Relations & will be making the move to that spot from the seat of the Deputy Vice President.
In his place I'm appointing Daniel Allen as Interim Deputy Vice President.
Both appointments are effective this date.
I want to take a moment & reflect back on Herb's work as both a member of the Quorum of the Twelve & as Deputy Vice President...and say that he has done outstandingly well in both & I'm honored that he accepted this new challenge.
Daniel of course you know as a proven quality & as a beacon of leadership....& though his upcoming tenure as Deputy Vice President will be brief, I know he will bring all this considerable talents to bear in the position.
The question some of you might have is...brief tenure?...Interim?
Specifically speaking...Dan will be serving as a caretaker DVP till a permanent replacement can be selected.
So, now I'm going to open the floor to all of you on this...who amongst you are interested in the position?
Very serious question...because I am going to be taking applications for the spot, effective immediately.
We are going to go through a three month vetting process on this spot...we will start the clock tomorrow 4/30/12 & complete this process on 7/30/12 with the new Deputy Vice President taking office formally on 8/1/12.
We are looking for someone who is or will be active on the site, active off site in the sense of promoting the BFC either online or at Conventions & will be prepared to assist the Vice President & Myself in our duties.
We consider this to be a very important position as it does rank third in line to the succession to the Presidency of the BFC.
For those that are interested, please work up a resume & tell me what makes you think you are capable to do this job & how given the circumstance you would lead the BFC if you were thrust into the position of President.
You may reach me on the site here & please put it in the form of a private message to me rather than a post.
There are no disqualifiers for this position....except for perhaps CDF members...if I'm not mistaken the regulations of the CDF prohibit active members of the Colonial Defense Forces military wing from holding a civilian government position. Please check with your immediate CDF superiors on that before presenting an application....to my knowledge this does not disqualify CDF civilian staff.
Members of the Quorum may apply...but if you are selected you must relinquish your seat on the council to do so.
Members of the government of the BFC, I would ask that you not apply for the position as some of you are already wearing to hats & I don't want multiple positions tying one person down.
So that opens this up to all the rest of you.
Remember, we have three months to make this decision...please make all due consideration & throw your hat in the ring.
So say we all!
