Michael Balcomb: True Mother wants me to be elected National Leader of the UK

It was very good to meet with you, Matthew and Natasha [Huish], and David and Kyung Ja yesterday.

This morning an official memo arrived from IHQ regarding True Mother’s recent personnel moves, including her request that I work very closely together with Matthew here in the UK in the capacity of National Leader.

I understand that there’s already an approved procedure in the UK for selecting and recommending the National Leader of the Family Federation UK, every four years, and that by happy circumstance the National Council was just about to initiate this process.

I’d like to respect this and as a first step I would like to confirm that I am willing to be nominated as a candidate. Putting on my Regional Chair hat (which seems a little tighter!) I would like to encourage other nominations as well. Perhaps the whole process could be expedited to match the pace of the just- called General Election?

Meanwhile, Matthew and I are already in good communication and will be cooperating together closely in the coming weeks.
