[Harp-L] SPAH Election, last hurrah!

[Bob Cohen <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please vote for Bob Cohen for President and Warren Bachman for Vice-President.

Thank you for the opportunity to share our vision for SPAH's future. The SPAH 2012 election season ends on Sunday, July 1, 2012. If you haven't voted now is the time. 

Rest assured, Warren and I respect tradition. We believe the people are special and the convention experience unique. The 2012 presidential election is about who will do the best job running the business and whose ideas, if executed, will most benefit the organization on the short and long term. It's not about whether the convention experience will change--it won't.

Warren and I believe we're the guys for the job. Please vote for us. For more information about our ideas for the future vist us at bobjcohen.org.
