I am NOT saying that that disqualifies him - too many times us old-timers discount the thoughts of the youth and I feel he would do a good job. That being said, I have heard Mike Thompson's name thrown around as a possible successor.

If Nick is interested in a career in politics only then would it be worthwhile to him. Nick Meads is an excellent choice but the Chairman job can be quite thankless.

NOT saying I don't believe you, but my argument (in the positive sense of the word) still stands. Turnout is very high ESPECIALLY concerning the demographics of FF County, not to mention, to consistently get as many people as we do to our meetings, DURING a workweek, AND having it last until 10:30pm or later is no small accomplishment. I do not envy the person stepping into Eric's shoes, but do offer a word of advice. Please follow, and stick to, Robert's Rules so that the meetings don't get too out of hand AND, speaking as a single Dad who has 3 boys living with me during the school year, keep the meetings short as often as possible :-) Freddie: I would be suprised if we are not at least near that 300 mark.

We need unity now more than ever with the Elections coming up I agree, I joined the Committee back in January as a Voting member in the Dranesville caucus and it is always full in the rooms :o

I have been going to meetings for the past 2 years or so and it is RARE that I see fewer than a couple hundred people. Seems that the entire section of the cafeteria and then some gets filled.

Attendance at meetings has fallen off in the past few years. I hope whoever takes over can revitalize the place.

This is a good organization and it is really too bad the state party and state candidates have not leaned on them more in the past. These folks really do know NOVA and it would be good if the state party and state wide candidates listened too them more. I do think the state party is coming around and I hope future statewide candidates make NOVA a priority. I agree with the comment on FCRC leadership.
