Candidate Statements

Candidate for President: Liz Germani, RT84
	Liz Germani has been a proud Aramco Brat since 1973 when her family moved to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and then moved to Ras Tanura in 1977. An IT project manager for 29 years, Liz worked at Aramco Services Corporation for three years where she solidified her Aramco contacts and desire to further unify the Brat community. Liz has served on the ABI board for eight years – first as a 2015 Houston Reunion Committee Representative and then as Director at Large from 2015-2017. She was the ABI Reunion Oversight Director from 2017-2019 and is currently the ABI President since being elected in 2019. Liz hopes to continue her tenure as the next ABI President to ensure the spirit of the unique Brat experience continues to thrive.

Candidate for Vice President: Paul Allen, DH89
	Paul Allen has Brat blood running through his veins, and wants to be your next ABI Vice President! Paul flew in on a shamaal in the summer of 1979, a fourth generation Aramcon courtesy of Brat parents and grandparents. A six year veteran of the ABI Board as Director of Nominations, and a member of the 2011 Dallas Reunion committee, Paul has seen firsthand all the hard work that goes into these amazing Brat reunions. A mainstay since Tucson 2001, Paul's professional leadership skills complement his enthusiasm for the Brat community, and he looks forward to leading the outreach to join new generations into the welcoming fold of Bratdom. Paul Allen would be honored to be your next ABI vice president, and continue to empower our unique Brat tradition onward into the future!

Candidate for Vice President: Leeman Ingham RT72
	Because of the many years I have had with the reunion committee from the beginning, I feel that I would be well suited for this position. I also have worked with Saudi Aramco for 35 years so I have an understanding of the changes that have happened through the years and the experience that different generations of brats have had in Arabia being that I lived there my entire life. Because of my life experience, I feel that I bring a unique position to understanding Brat's through all the generations from the '50s to the 2000 teens. l have an understanding of what they've gone through and the experiences because of brat friends and family. I am grateful for the opportunity to run for and be elected to one of these positions. Thank you so much.

Candidate for Treasurer: Tom Littlejohn DH84
	I first joined the ABI Board in 2009 and am currently serving my seventh term as the ABI Treasurer. I truly enjoy serving the ABI membership and would be honored to continue as Treasurer for another term. During my term of service we have evolved ABI’s accounting from simple spreadsheets to a more robust QuickBooks online accounting system, improved online and onsite payments, and boosted investment returns on ABI’s funds. I have over 28 years of experience in the Treasury/Corporate Finance organization of a fortune 500 company. My goal for the next term will be to continue to institute best practices in finance and accounting in serving the ABI membership and to keep ABI financially sustainable for many reunions to come.

Candidate for Secretary: Raidah Hudson DH77
	After many years of appreciating all ABI has offered the Aramco Brat community, I am excited about the possibility of serving as ABI Secretary. I was born in Dhahran, the oldest of four girls. I finished junior high school in the DH class of 1977. I have loved reconnecting with so many of my classmates and making new and cherished friends at each reunion. After Aramco, my parents retired to Amman, Jordan and on my frequent visits, I have enjoyed being able to connect with many Arab Brats there. I live in Richmond, Virginia, where I have been a dentist managing a solo practice for my entire career. I enjoy the fast pace of dentistry, helping people improve their health and interacting across all demographics. I have two sons; both will be in college this fall. I would be honored to bring my energy and personal commitment to the organization that has meant so much to me over the years.
