To the
Chapter...
Ahoy!
Almost everyone experiences special events and certain times that
entitles them that extra "skip" in their steps through life. Over
the past six years the Texas Chapter has allowed me to experience
those extra skips; and for that I will be always grateful.
Throughout this span of time I've made many wonderful friends that
if it weren’t for the Texas Chapter, would have never met. I will
hold these dear people in the anchor of my heart and will never
forget them.
I've been
allowed to help lead the Chapter to new and unexplored areas, help
bring many issues to light and conclusion, and have been allowed to
help lead others to continue the growth of the Texas Chapter.
Although we’ve never went through troubled waters, there were times
that tested our physical and mental abilities; which made us even
stronger to help navigate the chapter in the right direction. If it
wasn’t for the passion that others have for the entire APCO Family
and the support of the local member, this organization would not be
the largest and strongest emergency communications organization like
it is today. It is YOU the member, who mans the crow’s nest to help
steer the captain into the future of the Texas Chapter. I ask you to
help the chapter to stay the course by continuing your involvement
in the chapter, getting others to get on board, and even by simply
expression your concerns and suggestions. How hard can that be?
The Texas
APCO ship is in great hands; and with the guidance and leadership of
the captain and crew, the voyages she takes in the future will
certainly be one that nobody wants to miss. This is a wonderful
ride!
Sail On!!
