President's news


Greetings,

As we transition into the fall season here in North Carolina, it's important to remember the potential for unpredictable weather, especially with hurricane season still underway. Ensure your preparedness plans are up to date, and don't forget to review your emergency supplies, communication plans, and evacuation routes. In the event of severe weather, staying informed and taking early action can make all the difference.

Our August Chapter Meeting was a great success, with an enthusiastic turnout from our members. The interactive session provided valuable insights into What our members were interested in seeing in the new chapter and how they could help.

I look forward to seeing you all at our next meeting as we continue to build our chapter and strengthen our professional community.

Warm regards,

Richard Schierer
