The Chair's Corner
Promoting high quality by setting high standards
I would like to take this time to introduce myself to the members and other organizations. My name is Dennis Childers, I live in Austin, TX, and as of 5/5/07, and I was elected as your new State Chair for the TMRA II. I would like to thank all for choosing me as your leader and look forward to working with each and every one of you to accomplish our organizational goals. Even though the TMRA II has had it's share of challenges, as most other rights organizations, we feel fortunate to have been able to keep our steady focus on important issues related to strengthening and making more transparent what we do as our primary mission to continue to be one of the most effective rights organizations in the country.
The guiding force for the work of TMRA II is peer review, which by its very nature means that the TMRA II process and protocol must rely inescapably on peers from other rights associations, groups, members, and others with relevant expertise and experience in law making. As your new chair, I am committed to making the peer review process effective. We would all probably agree that before we can reach our ultimate goal of building an expanded pool of properly trained advisors and chapters is that we need to be successful and have representatives of our districts actively involved.
Lastly, I take this public opportunity to thank members of the TMRA II for being cooperative and supportive of our important expanding agenda to improve our standards, policies, and protocol for the TMRA II. I would like to thank our relatively small but industrious professional staff especially in addressing protocols while at the same time dealing with a range of issues. Fortunately, our chair emeritus "Sputnik" maintained the appropriate background to deal with our current challenges and he took appropriate administrative actions to assure the continued viability of the organization. I also want to call attention to the positive support and cooperation we continue to receive from members of our communities:
COC, Motorcycle Clubs, NCOM, AIM, and United Clubs of the state just to name a few. When all parties in our organization fully understand their roles and responsibilities, as well as how to respond, we will be making TMRA II more effective in its decision making and services to its clients, communities of interest, and the public at large. As our organization evolves and becomes larger and more diverse, we will surely be tested and be able to maintain the tradition of the TMRA II.
The TMRA II has demonstrated and will continue to demonstrate that it is ready for both opportunities and challenges that come its way.
