Last Day to Apply for the PASS Board
Thinking about applying for the PASS Board of Directors’ 2012/2013
term? You still have time to submit your application before tonight’s deadline.
Review
what
it takes to be a Director, download the application at the
PASS Elections page,
and apply by midnight Pacific Time tonight. If you know an
ideal candidate, forward them the links and encourage them to run.
Join the discussion on the
Elections
Forums and Twitter (#passvotes) and see
what current and past Board members say about what it means to lead the
premier, independent, user-run association for SQL Server, including:
Geoff Hiten: "Know yourself. Know your community.
Stand on principles. Compromise on everything else."
Andy Warren: "Understand that change is slow.
Understand that you won't win every decision. Make a commitment to get things
done that matter, and demand the same from your colleagues."
Wayne Snyder: “If you have a passion for the SQL
Server community, the wisdom of the ancients, people skills, and a wish to drive
your personal experience to new levels, then consider joining the Board of
Directors for PASS. This will not be the easiest thing you will ever do, but it
can be one of the most rewarding. Join us - make a difference!”
