Steven Nicolet
President
and
Commissioner
of The PYX
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Commissioner
Nicolet's Acceptance Speech
I am
Steven Nicolet, and I'm reporting for duty.
We are here tonight because we love The PYX. We're proud of our
league and what it can become.
My fellow pickers, we're here tonight united in one purpose: to make The
PYX stronger at home and respected in the world.
Together, we're going to write the next great chapter of The PYX
story.
We have it in our power to change the picking world, but only if
we're true to our ideals. And that starts by telling the truth to the
pickers. As President and Commissioner, that is my first pledge to you
tonight: As President, I will restore trust and credibility to the
Commissioner's Office.
I am very pleased to present the new cabinet of the
Commissioner's Office:

The Cabinet position descriptions can

PYX Constitution
Each Executive Officer will be sworn into office this
week at a private milk initiation ceremony in Jenison, Michigan.
The new PYX Administration is bigger and bolder than ever. We are
going to embark into the greatest time period in PYX history. This
administration is about to roll out a strategic plan that will bring
this league great achievements and recognition. I have assembled a
dynamic administration blessed with amazing talents and ideas.
And what can I say about Malea? She has the strongest moral compass
of anyone I know. She's down to earth, nurturing, courageous, wise and
smart. She speaks her mind, and she speaks the truth, and I love her for
that, too. And that's why the pickers will embrace her as the new first
lady of The PYX.
You will notice that my first act as President/Commissioner of this
great league was to make a clean and environmentally friendly website.
the PYX web pages are more green and recyclable than ever before.
Yes, you will find a few old archived pages not yet converted, but we
are definitely making progress. I pledge by the end of first year
in office, the entire PYX website will be green.
I am excited about all of the possibilities. Stay tuned as more
positive changes await us. Amazing things are just around the
corner.
Never has there been a moment more urgent for pickers to step up and
define ourselves. I will work my heart out. But, my fellow pickers, the
outcome is still in your hands. Together we can create a new
beginning!
It is time to reach for the next dream. It is time to look to the
next horizon. For The PYX, the hope is there. The sun is rising. Our
best days are still to come.
Thank you. Good night. God bless you, and God bless The PYX.
