As I step into the role of President of the NOPBNRCSE, I am both honored and invigorated by the responsibility entrusted to me. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to the outgoing executive board for their dedication and vision, which have helped shape our organization into what it is today. I also appreciate the trust and support of each member, which emboldens me to take on this important leadership role. 

As we look ahead, we find both challenges and unprecedented opportunities with the increase in new employees in the agency and the potential of growth through new memberships.  

A primary focus for my presidency will be to continue and expand on the personal, professional and technical growth opportunities for our members. Together, we are capable of not only addressing the current needs of our members but also shaping its future.

My commitment is to ensure that every member feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique insights.  

In addition to our internal efforts, we will focus on strengthening our external collaborations, building relationships with other organizations and educational institutions will allow us to better understand the needs of those we serve. 

As we embark on this journey, I encourage each of you to actively participate in your local chapters and national committees. Your engagement is crucial as we craft a vibrant future for the NOPBNRCSE. 

I am genuinely excited and ready to work alongside the new dedicated executive board.
