I saw she just retweeted Nik

I don't think Alice is qualified for a board of directors type of position.

Can't really agree with that - she seems eminently qualified.

Ganahal started a successful pet business, which is great, but has no other experience of note. Madden has decades of experience at at levels of government, higher education, and energy.

Now, if you don't like her politics, since she is an unabashed progressive, then I get that. But I think claiming she isn't qualified for a BOD position seems silly to me if you're going to turn around and claim Ganahal is.

My position has absolutely nothing to do with Alice's politics. The problem is that she is a politician, and is approaching this position as a politician; something that doesn't belong anywhere near a BoD. She is also the executive director of the CU law school’s natural resources, energy and environment center. I consider that a giant conflict of interest.

Heidi started, ran and sold an extremely successful national business, sat on the Leeds School board, has created or served on the boards of multiple community groups, and was in Fortune Magazine’s list of most promising women entrepreneurs in 2014. Sounds exactly what you would want in a board member.

if you are running for office, you are a politician.

in any event, both seem very qualified. We are lucky to have such good candidates. weird to say in 2016

So it's unclear who is more pro-CU athletics? Heidi vs Alice?

They both went to CU and both seem to be tremendous fans and extraordinary supportive of the athletic department.

It's a shame we can't have both on the BOR, honestly. I really liked Heidi's interview with Adam/Scout, though.

I believe that Heidi was endorsed by the Post this week.

True.

 

[sackman]

A Post endorsement doesn't carry much weight with me. In fact, it would make me question her qualifications.

Which carries more weight, Post or Camera?

They're the same paper. Same owners, same editors, same writers.

Yet they endorsed different candidates.
