NASS Meet the Officials- Our Vice-President 2004

Office of Vice-President 2004,2005
John Geothert

The following is John's election campaign speech from October 2000

My name is John Goethert and I am running for the office of Vice President.

I am 36 years old, married with no children. I currently own a 76 Spitfire and am working on a 71 GT6. I love these cars, always have! I am a graphic designer and partner in a small publishing business.

I chose the position Vice President because I would like to have a say in getting this long overdue club off the ground. Vice President seems to me to be the most generic position allowing me to help all other positions as needed. If any other office asks me to help with ANYTHING for NASS I will do it to the best of my ability.

I do need to make everyone aware that I am the editor of Spitfire & GT6 Magazine (this is NOT a plug). I will bow out IMMEDIATELY if anyone ever thinks I am using my position to benefit the magazine. No questions asked. They will stay separate. I would, however, choose to look at a possible negative as a positive. Since I make the decisions about content, I can make sure that NASS issues, ads, events etc. will alway be in the magazine. I believe it will make a big difference in recruiting new members not currently on the internet. I mention this subject because I want everyone to know my position NOW not later. I don't want people to "find out" in the future and wreck the hard work we are all putting into NASS formation.

I believe we all need to keep the end in mind, put aside the egos, and do what is best for the NASS. Remember, we are not only doing this for ourselves but our kids and other enthusiasts years down the road. Count on my continued support, as no officer or not.

Thank you,
John Goethert
