Volunteering Has Been Great!

Yesterday we held the last Professional Development event of the year.  It was a fantastic session on training design led by Rich Silkes of Sherwood Learning Solutions.  What an amazing guy and organization!  I got to know them by volunteering to help out our chapter.  Yesterday I introduced my replacement on the Board of Directors, Meg Paradise, who I also know because I volunteered.  She's another great person and excellent resource.  I have been a member of the chapter for well over a decade.  Before volunteering, I had only met a half dozen people, and then only superficially.  Now there are people in the chapter that I can count on if I need support.  We know each other's foibles and work together anyhow. 

In the coming year, I'll be playing more of a supportive role in the chapter as I transition Professional Development into Meg's capable hands and this website into Ed Parkin's expert hands.  Thank you all for the experience and the camaraderie.  It has been a great learning experience and a privilege to serve with you!
