January Message
By the time you see this
message, our Mid-Year Board Meeting for the District will
soon be underway or has just been completed. Your District
6 Board meets twice a year: once at the end of January, (this
year on February 3rd in Las Vegas), and again just prior to
the Annual Meeting. The Mid-Year meeting allows each of our
volunteer committee members to report on their activities.
During this meeting the Board also reviews and accepts a slate
of candidates for the District 6 Secretary-Treasurer and International
Director positions.
As soon as the slate of candidates is accepted
by the Board, the District 6 campaign season is underway.
I hope everyone takes time to learn about each of the candidates
and vote. These individuals will be spending their personal
time and money to let each of you know why they would like
to have an opportunity to represent you at either the District
or International level of ITE. So please make sure when you
see them over the next few months that
you thank them for their commitment and volunteer time in
support of our organization.
Our committee chairs are
also dedicated volunteers for our District. Without their
help many of our key District activities would not take place.
When you see one of the following individuals, please make
sure to thank them for all the hard work and time they volunteer
to ITE.
- Karen Aspelin, Technical Committee Chair
- Walter Stringer, Legislative Committee Chair
- Craig Grandstrom, Career Guidance Committee
Chair
- Walter Okitsu, Engineering Registration Chair
- Open, Vendor Chair
- Steven Sasaki, Membership Committee Chair
- Jon Pascal, Web Site Committee Chair
- Alyssa Reynolds, Student Initiative Chair
Please join me in welcoming
our volunteer team. Two of our newest Board members are Doug
Smith and Michel Bitner who have accepted the positions of
our new WesternITE editors. This is their first WesternITE
issue and they deserve a big thank you for taking on this
task.
It is now time for everyone to start seriously
planning to attend the District 6 Annual Meeting. The Hawaii
Section is looking forward to hosting this year's meeting.
The Local Arrangements Committee Chair Cathy Leong and her
committee have been working for years in preparing for our
visit. I had a chance to visit the hotel on a business trip
before the holidays. I want to let you all know you do not
want to miss this meeting. The hotel is fabulous, the meeting
rooms are great and the Family Night will be an event you
do not want to miss with Diamond Head as a backdrop. So mark
your calendars for June 25-28 and make your reservations at
the Sheraton Waikiki Honolulu to attend. "Au i ke kai
loa". I look forward to seeing everyone at our Annual
Meeting in Hawaii for a great technical program.
