Re:  ISPI San Antonio -  February 2008 Meeting Notice and News

 

Who/What:      How About We Change It Up?

Before anything, please note that for the Chapter’s February meeting, we will be gathering at a different location.  (Please refer to the When/Where section for the details.) We will try out the location’s WiFi capabilities so that when future programs require it, we will have an alternate meeting place.  Because it is something I really enjoy, we’ll play Thiagi’s Performance Deck game to test our skills and knowledge of the HPT field.

 

Next, I want to take a moment to thank the rest of the Chapter’s outgoing officers and the loyal “board” for their support. They made it very easy for me and most of them have been Chapter President or some other officer over the years.  I’m grateful for their experience, guidance and willingness to help.   I’ve learned much, and I know that there is so much more to learn. I couldn’t be any happier to continue my association and membership with the San Antonio ISPI Chapter.   Thank you to:

 

• Communications Chair, Randy Agee
• Program Chair, Hilton Goldman      
• Treasurer, Will Dozier       
• Secretary, Alma Ramirez      
• Past President, Johnny Weissmuller     

 

Last year, we elected Rob Garza from UTSA as the 2008-2009 Chapter President.  There are many things that must be done to help him start off the new program year. 

• First is the election of new officers, so please be prepared to make some nominations. 
• We want to continue growing the chapter and promoting the value of performance technology locally, so also be prepared to share what your hopes are for the chapter and what lessons you’ve learned as well. 
• I ask that you consider a volunteer activity or two that you would be able to fit into your busy lives.
• Maybe there are some who could help “mentor” those that are newer to the field.

 

Thanks again for a wonderful two years as your chapter president, and best wishes to Rob and the rest of the board!!
