2003 Candidates Statements
Bill Meeks, Jr. My name is Bill Meeks, Jr., and I am running for reelection as an At Large Director on the Vietnam Veterans of America Board of Directors. I took a sunny tropical tour of Vietnam in 1968 with the U.S. Marines. My union with VVA took place in 1992; I am a life member of VVA Chapter # 343, married to Suzie, 4 kids, 8 grandkids and work for Van De Wiele Engineering in Houston, Texas. I am President of the VVA Texas State Council since 1999; chair of the VVA Membership Affairs Committee, chair of the Handbook Committee for the Conference of State Council Presidents and a member of the VVA Resolutions Committee.
Even after leadership positions at chapter and state council levels for numerous years, the jump to the national level was eye opening to say the least and I have strived to communicate on a continual basis to the membership since my election. Financial concerns impact our organizational operation on a daily basis; I have weigh all the information presented on issues, budgets, projects or programs and tried to vote correctly on every matter placed before the board. As a National Board member, being a member of the VVA talk list and providing assistance pertaining to VVA operational procedure or membership questions is essential in my opinion for our organization to function properly. I am asking for your support in my bid for reelection as an At Large Director on the VVA Board of Directors.
