As flattered as I am by this nomination, I feel I must refuse it.
In an administrative sense, I would probably be a good chair, but at the

I would be more than happy to participate in this fashion in whatever
area is most needed. In the past I participated in board reporting, but
I could certainly do other things as needed.
