Editor's Notes
My mission is pretty straight forward. It comes out of Goal 2 Education and Training.
I have tried to organize committee regionally since I can do only so much from Dallas. I could potentially have 13 vice chairs for each region in CONUS.
I don’t know if Eileen/Jon has the website statistics but I really try to focus the bulk of my communications from the SAME website. I also write an email to Post POCs each semester. Our communications thrust focuses on advertising the annual student leadership workshop.
I had 3 primary goals for the past year that I will continue to try to grow. When I took over the college outreach program there were 11 student chapters.
