Since becoming Chair, I have written 3 short items for the newsletter. I have asked you for money for the endowment, thoughts on what our goals should be and finally referrals for new members. As I look back, I sound like quite the needy person. That is not my intent. I have been not following what I preach and what SDSVP is all about. SDSVP is about giving. I have not been giving.

June 29, 2003 - After I did the Florida Ironman (IM) in November of 2002, I quickly signed up for the Coeur d’Alene IM which was to be held in June of 2003. I was feeling high from the experience of training and actually completing the Florida race. This is actually a common problem with people who have just completed an IM. You get this sense of invisibility and you think you can do more than you are actually capable. I was soon proven not to be so invincible.

Let’s Get More Members!
I think that SDSVP is the best membership organization in San Diego. The leverage that our $5,000 yearly donations make is truly amazing. The gift of time, expertise and resources to the San Diego community is needed and precious.

The past few weeks have been fascinating for me since I posted my desire to run for President. Many friends have expressed true interest in me running. Many have suggestions for my platform. Many have suggestions for my campaign. As I have told them all, my plan is to spend the next 5 years writing down my views. I do a ton of reflection because I am posting my views for the world to see. Below is my very short and unfinished list in no particular order. I will tackle each item as I have inspiration. I will constantly add to list.

I was speaking to a CEO member of my Vistage group about morals and how to determine if his behavior was acceptable. We wandered in the discussion talking about strict moral standards compared to loose moral standards. What was appropriate in judging his behavior? What yardstick should he use?
