AGA Candidate for Board Statement for Ted Terpstra

I have been a member of the AGA since 1973.

The AGA has made great strides in the past couple of years

with a whole new database system that has helped the rating

system, and handling memberships. More improvements are

forthcoming.

AGA chapters can now create a website for free on the USGO.org

website.

I believe that the AGA chapters are the soul of the association.

I want the AGA to encourage all chapters to hold an annual tournament.

This is the best way of getting new members and strengthening each

chapter.
