READ BEN GOODLOE’S RESIGNATION LETTER
(Microsoft Word Document)Greetings! Let me begin by first saying thank you for selecting me as your NENA-Texas Chapter President for 1998-99! It is truly a great honor to have been entrusted by one?s peers to lead such a fantastic organization. I will endeavor to follow in the footsteeps of my predecessors and to continue the tradition of this chapter?s leadership in NENA. Also, you have selected an extraordinary and diversely talented board who I look forward to working with this year!
Your new board has already been hard at work. At our first business meeting on May 12th, we had orientation for new board members, selected committee liaisons, discussed TENA policies, board member?s duties, and other issues important to the organization including a wrap-up of the spring conference in Waco. After lunch, we conducted a “team building” exercise to help everyone learn more about each other and how we can best work with one another.
Traditionally, the chapter has placed most of its emphasis on planning the two annual conferences. We recognize the need for quality, educational opportunities which is the cornerstone of NENA. With the ever increasing demand for travel funds, we will strive to bring you conferences with the most up to date and informative sessions possible. But, we won?t stop there. Last year we introduced a program for regional training opportunities. Due to its overwhelming success, we have now added a training committee as well as a public education committee to the list of standing committees that together will assist us in reaching our goals.
Visit our website at “https://www.nena9-1-1.org/texas/index.htm” for a complete list of the committees and their members. If you see an area that interest you and would like to become involved, just let us know. Chris, the TENA Webmaster, has set up all kinds of ways for us to communicate with each other on our web page including a discussion forum, calendar of events, and chapter e-mail directory. Be sure and enter your e-mail information into the directory. Let us know your ideas. We all benefit from the synergy created by the passion that we share for 9-1-1. Remember, this organization?s strength is in its membership!
