Ohio Judo Inc. “President's State of the Union” January 2010 Mark Hunter, President
I hope 2010 will be a great year for Ohio Judo, Inc. We all set New Year Resolutions and we try to keep them. Sometimes we do and sometimes we forget about them and fail.
Hopefully, the Ohio Judo, Inc. will not fail and meet the Resolutions that we have set in place for 2010.
As I enter my last year as President of Ohio Judo, I want to set some goals for 2010. Basically I have 2 goals.
Goal #1 – Better Communications To achieve this we must::
Goal # 2 – Better Service to Ohio Judo Charter Clubs To achieve this we must:
To meet these goals, we must have everyone working together. I know sometimes life get busy and we forget our commitment to OJI.
When I became President of Ohio, I wanted to do 2 things. One was to have OJI in a better position when I left the office than it was when I became President. The other thing was to grow Judo in Ohio. I hope I have done my job and earned your support.
Mark Hunter President of Ohio Judo, Inc.
I am proud to be part of Ohio Judo, Inc. |
