Board of Directors

 

I attended the chapter luncheon today.  It was pretty interesting - a construction project manager talked about his experience working for a company that contracts to the DOT.  I sat with the current VP of Community Outreach and we talked a little.  It helped to finalize my decision to run for the VP of Education and Certification, instead.

The Elections Coordinator approached me a few days ago and asked if I would be willing to run for a different office, as the incumbent was no longer running and nobody else was looking to fill the position.  I knew that the current VP of Community Outreach had decided not to run (she is going back to school, good for her!), but I found out today that she has been working with another member for about 6 months who is planning on running for her office.  I figure that since he has knowledge of what is going on and plans for outreach efforts, it would make more sense to run for a different position.  Education and Certification will be a good fit.  I wouldn't say that this blog qualifies me in any way, but I am confident I have something to offer in the position.

If I am elected (wouldn't that be awkward to lose with nobody running against me), I can see blogging about those activities, as well.

Before I forget, somebody sent me a link to an article with several links to information about free PDUs.  Once I validate them I will post them, and give credit where credit is due.
