GS Jade Barrett
I, GS Jade Barrett, need your support to represent you on the ACBL Board of Directors.
The current environment of the ACBL requires all the 50+ years of experience as a player and the 35+ years as a consultant who has productively assisted clubs, units and districts throughout the ACBL build and sustain their memberships.
My life is deeply connected to the community of players in essentially every conceivable way and I am a proud member of this "family". As such, I am driven to be a steward of the game.
I have the life experience, knowledge and ability to navigate these difficult times need to fulfill this promise:
"The mission of the ACBL is to promote, grow and sustain the game of bridge and serve the bridge-related interests of our Members."
I need your vote in order to perform the necessary tasks to preserve the game we love.
