2008 CSNS Elections - Candidates so far

dorancoins

Received an e-mail from Jerry Lebo, Secretary-Treasurer of the Central States Numismatic Society, this evening. Looks like the 2008 elections might get interesting (not unlike the recent ANA election). While CSNS does not have the scandal and mudslinging that the ANA was known for, the organization appears to be yearning for some change. Listed below are the candidates that are officially running. Foodude, Purduenut, and yes, good ol' Dorancoins are running (in my case, on the third attempt.) More than likely that this list will grow some when it is all said and done.

2008 CSNS Election

For President

Patricia Jagger Finner, Wisconsin


For Vice President

Donald Charters, Michigan


For Governor

James Moores, Missouri (incumbent)

W. Ray Lockwood, Indiana (incumbent)

Wendell Wolka (Purduenut), Indiana (incumbent)

Bruce Benoit, Wisconsin (incumbent)

Jack Huggins, Illinois (incumbent)

David Heinrich, Ohio

Greg Allen (foodude), Minnesota

Paul Padget, Ohio (incumbent)

Bruce Perdue, Illinois

Michael Doran (dorancoins), Illinois

Donald Dool, Illinois

Also, there will be a item on the ballot which asks whether to allow up to 3 people from the same state to hold seats on the board of governors (current constitution allows only 2). I am 100% opposed to it because this could have the potential for one state to have a "monopoly" over the CSNS board.

It's good to see that all of my preferred candidates won their sought after seats in this election. In my opinion the several people who deserved to win actually won.

In the spirit of this past thread it's refreshing to see that the voting body of the CSNS as a whole opted for "ABMD" when it came time to vote.

ABMD...ABMD...ABMD...

Glad to see Paul Padget made it. One of my alltime favorite dealers.

When only one "candidate" for a specific office is presented on the Ballot there must be a reason. This seems to me to defeat the purpose of the Election process. I don't know anything about the CSNS, but assume it is a worthy and respected organization. Why is there only one candidate for President and one for Vice President? Just curious. Respectfully, John Curlis

Finding people who fit the criteria and actually want to serve as the president or vice president is the problem.

How about ABWTCG? It's pretty pathetic when one makes nasty comments like the one that WTCG has posted. The only reason I lost was because two other candidates from Illinois ran (and they lost, too.) The election is over - lets move on (and for some, get a life!)
