I have decided to drop out of the election committee and run for the position of President of the WEGM.
A little about me;
My name is Alan McCary, I’ll be 57 this year, I served in the USMC in the late 70s and early 80s, honorably discharged NCO. I have been married for the past 28 years, I have two daughters and one 5 year old grandson. I am currently a Design Engineer at a manufacture in Atlanta. I live in Winston Georgia, a small town just outside of Douglasville. I like things in my life to be stable, I don’t try to change something just so I can say I changed it. Like most engineers I try to live by the KISS rule “Keep It Simple Stupid”
I started small scale mining in 1991. I am an avid dredger and love being outdoors. I started the North West Georgia Chapter of the GPAA and served as president for 5 years and board of directors for one out of the last 7 years. I have participated in and overseen many different kinds outings and common operations over the years.
My goals if elected are but not limited to:
1. Re focus the club as a mining club not just a social event.
2. Look at ways to decrease expenses and increase revenue to ensure the clubs long term stability.
3. Open all aspects of the meetings to the active members “to quietly view” with the exceptions of member requested private discussions and disciplinary matters.
4. Review, revise, replace, or remove any rules that are in place that are not essential or hinders the members from participating in a club and activity they paid for.
5. Ensure that all important matters coming up for a vote is broadcasted in advance so all members can be a part of the decision making process that ultimately affects all of us.
Thank you for your time and consideration;
Alan McCary
WEGM #1775
