Many of you know Mike Foley, or have talked to him at match or on the phone at Shooters Connection.
Mike has announced he is running for USPSA President. I will have petitions with me for Mike at the Indoor Match at Parabellum.
From Mike's Announcement
Mike Foley
To the members of USPSA, friends, and supporters:
For many months I have been considering running for USPSA President, and I have been encouraged by many of you to do so. Both my love and concern for our sport have never been higher than they are today. That is truly the definition of bittersweet. We have a tremendous opportunity to grow our membership, develop our sport, and gain sponsorship from the firearms industry and beyond. At the same time, we have challenges in communication and transparency, issues that need to be addressed, and an organization to run efficiently.
Most of you know me from the past 12 years as an avid USPSA competitor, the past 7 years as Director of Sales and Operations for Shooters Connection, as an RO and match staff at Battle in the Bluegrass I-IV, Kentucky Section Championship, numerous local matches, and as a sponsor of many matches. Many of you don't know that I have served on the Board of Directors 7 times at the Blue Grass Sportsmen's League, an IRS 501c7 member owned shooting club. During my time there, we were able to save our club by increasing revenues and memberships, and reduce unnecessary expenses and waste, all while maintaining compliance for our tax exempt status.
In April of this year, I entered into an agreement with my employer to reduce my status to part-time, and currently work Monday through Thursday only. Since my position affords me a four-work-day 9-5 schedule, I have been able to work evenings, Fridays, and weekends on my volunteer work, and attend matches. I also did not seek re-election for my board position at the club, freeing up even more time. This, coupled with some time off during the year, affords me the ability to step forward into a new leadership role, one where my experience and ability will allow me to contribute to an organization I love, USPSA.
As of today, Wednesday, November 26, 2014, I am seeking signatures on nomination petitions to run for USPSA President in the next election. The filing deadline is December 31, 2014, but I hope to have this completed before the Christmas holiday. The signature is not a vote, but simply to get me on the ballot, and in the Front Sight as a candidate. The election will be held in September 2015. I sincerely appreciate all of your support for nomination, and in the election. I would be humbled to be your President.
