*Note: *This email comes to you from me, Sheri Rubin, as a general IGDA 
member. This is not an endorsement for anyone as a SIG chair or chapter 
coordinator or any of that. It's me, the member, who is taking an active 
interest in this year's elections.

Hi everyone,

This is your best opportunity to help select the leadership that runs 
the org and will be working to help all of us improve the IGDA and 
industry as a whole.

You can read about the candidates here: 
http://www.igda.org/igda-board-directors-2010-candidate-statements

If you're interested in some additional info Scott Macmillan has put 
together additional commentary and background on all of the candidates
and posed more questions to them too:

Finally, you should vote here: http://www.igda.org/2010election/BoDVote

Personally there are a few people I'd like to draw your attention to 
specifically, if you haven't voted yet, who have never been on the board 
before that could be crucial to the success of community efforts of 
SIGs, like this one.

I believe David Edery, Michelle Hinn, Jane Pinckard, and Ian Schrieber 
will all be great supporters of SIGs if elected to the board.

Additionally:
Wendy Despain. She's on quite a few SIGs, is in charge of the writing 
SIG, and knows what SIGs need. Do it! Please!

Darius Kazemi (www.dariusforigda.org). This dude has been campaigning 
for a year now and I think and it's well deserved. Please vote for 
Darius! (There's even a Darius for IGDA facebook group for those on 
facebook.) While he's primarily been a chapter guy I have talked with 
him on many occasions and I know he'll work to support SIGs too.

Seriously - this vote is important, beyond important. I would definitely 
recommend that out of any year you've been a member THIS is the year to 
make sure you get your votes in!

I have >NEVER< campaigned publicly before on any of these elections and 
I hope you take that as a sign of just how important I feel these 
elections are to the organization as a whole.

I'm happy to talk to anyone off-list about any of the statements I've 
made or anything else related to the IGDA in general.

With much respect,
Sheri Rubin
