Dear Sailor Athlete,

There is one day left to vote in the 2009 SAC Election. The Council is very pleased to present a strong and diverse slate of nominees for election to the Council including Liz Baylis, Bob Billingham, Matt Bounds, Andrew Campbell, Molly Carapiet, Andrew Cole, Kimberly Couranz, Carol Cronin, Rick Doerr, Albert Foster, Amy Gross-Kehoe, Sandy Grosvenor, Liz Hall, William Jeffers, Suzy Leech, Margaret Podlich, Dawn Riley, Austin Sperry, Hank Stuart and John Williams.

“Sailor Athletes voting for this group of candidates will get to select from a list of names active across a broad range of different aspects of our sport,” said Council Chairman Ned Jones. “One of our goals was increase the diversity of SAC by adding Council members with offshore and non-Olympic one-design experience as well as coaching and judging experience. This crop of candidates addresses those goals nicely.”

One hundred thirty (130) sailor athletes have already cast votes for the five open slots on the Council. If you are one of the 350+ that has not voted yet, please do so TODAY by going to www.USSAILING.org/sac/referendum.

Thank you.

Regards,
Ned Jones, Chair
Sailor Athlete Council
