<div>Personally, I've know Roy for several years and have done various project and committee work with him. I think he brings a level of professionalism, initiative, and follow-through that we will benefit from. AFAIK, Roy will be in Buenos Aires, so I encourage you to get to know him better there. You can also read more about Roy here: <a href="http://www.stu.edu/BallesteRoy/tabid/2383/Default.aspx">http://www.stu.edu/BallesteRoy/tabid/2383/Default.aspx</a></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I haven’t know Roy as long as Brenden has, but from what I do know of him, I couldn’t agree more with this description of him. I hope Roy accepts this nomination, and I look forward to his future efforts on behalf of NCUC in any and all capacities.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Amr</div></div></body></html>
