Tell Us About the Nominee!

WHY DOES YOUR NOMINEE MAKE YOU AND OTHERS GLAD THEY PLAY BRIDGE? (1000 words or less)? Please be sure to distinguish 'volunteer' from 'goodwill'. For example, a person who has served for 35 years as a unit official is surely a wonderful volunteer. Does he/she also exemplify 'goodwill'? Some examples of clear good will, that are different from (or expand upon) administrative capability, might be, "Joe has initiated the idea of a pickup service for disabled players; he took it a step further and has provided personal pickup and dropoff service for our unit for the past 10 years; people really appreciate it." Or, "Dr. Jones went the extra mile when Susie had chest pains at the table--he personally went with her in the ambulance to see to it that she got to the best ER--she is doing well today, perhaps in large part due to his effort." Or, "Mary makes so many in our district feel good; she always has a kind word for partner and for the opponents, especially when something negative has happened, either at the table or in their lives." What actions has your nominee engaged in that reflect genuine thoughtfulness...look for creative approaches as well as 'expected' ones. To reiterate, is your nominee someone who makes people feel good and welcome at the game...how?
