I am asking for your vote as Director at Large because I’m pretty good at directing large things. I have the Parrothead spirit of general nonsense and frivolity. I bring years of musical and adult concoction knowledge to the table. Most importantly though, I beleive in the cause of raising funds for our local community charities.

I accepted the nomination for Member at Large for several reasons, but the main reason is because I love being a Parrot Head, and also what belonging to this group means. I enjoy attending and participating at the monthly meetings as we try to raise as much money as we can for lots of worthy charities. Meeting new members and making new friends is also high on the list. It is by forming these bonds with the members that I feel I can help to bring their voices to the meetings. I look forward to helping give our over 400 members a way to be heard and be more a part of the goings on within the club. Thank you for considering me for Member at Large.

I think I would be a good fit as a Member at Large as I would be willing to communicate other people’s needs to the board.

Hi, my name is Sommer Orr. I am a relatively new member of the PCPHC. My husband (Kevin) and I moved to PCB a little over a year ago, knowing very few people and embarking on a brand-new journey of empty nesting and retirement (partially) all at once. We were introduced to the PCPHC by one of our awesome neighbors, and instantly found ourselves surrounded with some of the most amazing friends and family anyone could hope for. I accepted the nomination for secretary to hopefully be to all new members what this group has been to me. A place to belong.

I was also asked to give a little background on my qualifications. I have served on the board of directors for two other organizations in multiple positions from board member to vice president. I currently work part time as the CFO for a non-profit in Africa. Since I am accustomed to working 60+ hours a week, and now work around 10, I have plenty of time to dedicate to helping continue and grow our drive to “Party with a Purpose”!

Hello Phriends! I am excited to have the opportunity to run for treasurer of PCPHC. I have been involved with several nonprofit organizations in my lifetime, including being a long-standing board member of East TN Pilots association, Skyranch Airport and Captain at the Blount County Rescue Squad. With that being said, I realize the amount of time that it takes to be a board member. My husband and I own an e-commerce business that specializes in home improvement products and have been doing so since 2015. In addition, I also manage our two rental properties.  Besides counting all the booty, my goals as treasurer would be to continue what Marty has already started by streamlining the member application process. I’d also like to get more members involved in leadership roles — we have a lot of talented members that could help our club get to a new level and achieve more than we have ever done. As all of us set sail on a new adventure, we will have our new captains steering the ship, with our former fearless captains by our side to make the transition of the new board a smooth transition —plus they know a lot more than we do. � Fins up Parrotheads! Let’s set sail and find that lost shaker of salt!

I have over 40 years of experience in public service. Having retired from the USAF and Urbana Fire Department in Illinois my focus has been on helping others in need.

As an Assistant Chief I have hours and hours and hours, did I mention hours of training in managing people, events, conducting training, responding to calls, and putting out fires! Any organization including our Parrot Head Club has the occasional spot fire and I want to help extinguish those as quickly and smoothly as possible.

I currently work with a diverse group at a software company that provides applications for fire departments, EMS Agencies, and hospitals. There are many voices from many backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. Lots of great ideas that require collaboration and prioritization. We have great ideas coming from fellow PCBPH. As a board member working with the rest of the board, we can facilitate those ideas and move them forward to Party With a Purpose!

The “nominees” for the board have already been meeting, we work well together but know we cannot do it all. If elected, we plan to rely on the past board members (who are being more than generous in their guidance) and our fellow Parrot Heads for help!

We must have group participation to pilot our Pirate Ship. We have over 400 members now with lots of talent. Step on up Matey’s raise the sails and jump on board!

That’s enough of an introduction cuz it is 5 O’clock somewhere and there’s a party going on without me!

As a candidate for President of the Panama City Parrot Head Club, I would like to share my experiences that I feel qualify me for the position. For over 15 years (and for the foreseeable

future), I have run my own civil engineering consulting business. During that time, I was President of the Maryland Society of Professional Engineers for 2 years, President of our HOA for 3 years and Chairperson of our County wide Chamber of Commerce. I am not a musician or a performer, but a businessman. As such, I understand the importance of building consensus,

setting specific objectives, and maximizing the diverse talent and expertise of our membership as we plan memorable social events that entertain us and benefit our community. One of my goals would be to create new committees to tackle tasks identified by the Board with which we need member support to implement. I have found that being a member of this club has been both rewarding and fulfilling. We have

made some great friends and enjoyed a lot of great music. I would be honored to be elected President of the club as we continue to Party With A Purpose.
