Mayor Voller named German Marshall Fund Fellow

Randolph Voller is not a leader. He's just a small-town politician.

you're entitled to your opinion, no matter how tacky the times you choose to express it are, but the fact is apparently this organization disagrees with you.

You and old no integrity are gonna be permanently puckered you keep munching on them sour grapes.

And they say you'll go blind if you keep doing what you're doing.

Once again, congrats to Mr. Voller.  His achievement reflects positively on our County.

You've got me confused with a politician. 

And I wonder just how "trolling men's rooms" came to your mind?  No, don't tell me.  We don't want to know.

Dear Chathamites:

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts on the fellowship.  When one of us achieves we all achieve.

(To wit-I was never prouder than when I worked with Senator Obama's campaign to select Pam Cash, a lifelong Republican, to introduce the Senator as he kicked off his official Presidential campaign in June of 2008 in Raleigh. Pam's performance later grew into her introduction in Denver when she spoke to millions on national TV.) 

I was originally nominated to apply last year by a friend and colleague, Jamie Nunnelly.  It was a rigorous application and review process, which required an applicant to submit a number of written essays and written recommendations. The local International Affairs Council (IAC) coordinated the process with the German Marshall Fund (GMF). In 2008 I made it to the final interview, but was not selected. This year I restarted the process from the beginning and once again made the final interview. I was far more relaxed and experienced from the previous year's experience and was fortunately selected with three other highly qualified North Carolineans from the final pool of twelve qualified candidates.

I will be participating as a fellow from June 2nd until June 27th. We will start in Brussels.  Although the list of cities has been selected I do not know which cities our group will visit yet.  The short list includes Barcelona, Bilbao, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Sofia, Skopia, Istanbul, etc. 

I will periodically update to this site and hope to do so while travelling next summer.

Raleigh will be hosting the annual summit next year in September.

Mayor Randy Voller

 

I am proud of the award.  Some people do not realize how hard you have to work to get yourself an award.

Wow, it took you four days to snark on this thread.  You're really slippin'
