Tere Pulliam:

My SCCA experience started in Solo auto
crossing a Ladies AP Lotus Europa and I also
volunteered in the race program as a Pit Marshall
at Road Atlanta and then T &5. I currently hold a
Divisional Registrars License.

I took a break from SCCA 1989·1997 to raise my
babies.

1998·2004 I volunteered on the Atlanta Region
SCCA Board of Directors and during that span I
was the Solo Chairman, Race Chairman, and
Assistant RE. I then served as Atlanta's Regional
Executive from 2005·2011. Currently my husband
Larry and I are the Social Chairmen for the SEDiv.
I have won many awards from Atlanta Region:
Member of the Year, RE's Award, the Dave
Tallaksen Award, and Worker of the Year.
My most recent award (which I was so honored
to receive) was SEDiv's Robert W. Clark Award:
an award presented annually by the Florida
Region "in recognition of participation and
dedication in the spirit of SCCA".

What is my vision?

I do feel I carry the "spirit of SCCA". We all belong to this
club for the same reason: we love cars! I love cars fast cars,
slow cars, even ugly cars and I love being with people that
have that same passion. If elected I want to build on that
passion and focus a little more on the "social" part of SCCA
that seems to have fallen off.

While I was the RE of a "jumbo" region I did not believe in
micro management and still don't. I knew what Atlanta
Region needed and we ran a very efficient region. With all
due respect I did not need a BoD to tell me how to run my
region and that is no different today.

As a Solo chairman and being involved in the very
successful Atlanta Region Solo program I would like to see
some kind of National Recognition with the dues structure
for all Solo Chairman and organizers similar to the one with
race Volunteers. The hours put into organizing and
orchestrating a successful Solo program are invaluable to
our club and those people should be recognized for their
efforts.

I do believe there have been great strides in our racing
programs - the Majors have been a great step in the right
direction - but there is still more to be done. I fully embrace
the concepts presented by the Barriers to Entry programs
and the Alternative Drivers Schools that better allow us to
compete heads-up with other racing organizations.
If elected, I will report regularly to the membership and have
an open door policy. My plan is to travel to events of all
types throughout the Area and be available to talk to YOU,
the members that make this a great club. Please feel free to
email with with questions or concerns at:
tereforarea12@gmail.com

I am excited about this next chapter in my SCCA life as I
look forward to being your Area 12 Director, so thank you for
your consideration.
