SportsGuy on SEMPO Board of Directors
Well, it’s been killing me to post about this, but the press releases are floating around, so here goes:
Most folks know I’m active with SEMPO as Co-Chair for the in-House SEM committee. I recently (back in December) decided to run for a seat on the Board of Directors, too.
I figure if the organization is good enough for some of my time, it’s good enough for more of my time…LOL Seriously, I believe the work they do and direction SEMPO is headed in, so it made sense to me to step up and help out some more.
I can now officially report that I’ve won a seat on the Board of Directors with SEMPO for the 2007/2008 season. 
For those who don’t know, this is strictly voluntary. We don’t get paid for this involvement, nor do we even get our membership dues waived. I pay my way just like every other member.
Also, this involvement requires certain attendance levels. I have to attended, face to face, at least 2 Board meetings this year. …and before you scoff and say “your company will cover it”, I’ll remind you that I personally don’t run an active consultancy (that is, I have no immediate clients), and my actual day job is as an in-house SEM for a sports media company, so they get nothing directly from me being involved. This means they don’t cover my expenses to travel to these meetings. I might get lucky if I’m goign to an SES show and the meeting happens at the same time, but other than that, it’s all me.
I believe in it, so I support it.
Now, naturally, my first task as a member of the SEMPO BoD will be to take over the world. After that, we’ll see what I feel like…
Big thanks to those who voted for me and to the rest of the elected members.
Duane
