2 pg 2 Prez Sez So this is the Prez Sez where we typically look back at the past fiscal year and its successes. And it has been a successful year! By far, our biggest accomplishment was holding another outstanding symposium. Events like that require a huge team commitment and I m so proud of Chapter 3 for accepting the challenge and seeing it through to a fruitful end. These symposiums are critical to Chapter 3 as they help us offset any losses we experience in providing our education program. Additionally, our Board experienced several shifts as folks had to leave due to new job commitments, etc., Lori Hathaway, RWA, R/W-RAC but others stood up and filled the critical spots, often with little training. These people just rolled up their sleeves and got after it. This ethic is a blessing in any organization, but especially in one that is run by volunteers. Our motivation is to advance the success of something we believe is important. Ongoing education in our field is vital, and that s why we re here. Our Education team stepped up to the challenge of putting together a program while navigating changing credentialing and instructor criteria. This was not easy, but Janine Kidd and the great team she put together got the job done. It is no wonder that Janine won Professional of the Year! Looking forward, putting on the 2019 Education Conference will require much of us. You are going to hear a lot about volunteerism, team commitment and focus as we move closer to the event. Hosting an Education Conference is a great honor and I look forward to working with all of you. It s been an honor serving as your chapter president. Thank you for the opportunity. It has let me learn a lot about myself: my strengths, and also areas I need to work on. I appreciate the hardworking group of professionals that make up our Board and especially want to thank them for supporting me this past year. Onward! Lori Chapter 3 President Have you ever been to an IRWA Annual Education Conference? Your chance is coming as Chapter 3 starts preparation of the 2019 Conference to be held in Portland! Want a chance to get in on the action? Contact Leslie Finnigan or Jim Lingeman, Co-Chairs of the 2019 Conference to be a part of this once every 30-year local event!

6 pg 86 IRWA Education $1.8 Million Endowed FUNDING YOUR FUTURE 40 Years of Giving Back Since RWIEF s inception in 1976 as a non-profit funding mechanism for right of way education, the Foundation has supported IRWA in building and improving its education program. Coming to the end of our 40 th anniversary year, it is amazing to recognize that approximately $1.8 M has been endowed to the program. Most members know that Foundation funding has produced new courses, updated existing courses, converted classroom courses to online formats, and made possible the 2004 revision of the PRINCIPLES OF RIGHT OF WAY text book. But that s not all. Funding for the Leadership Institute produced eleven online modules of leadership training that is free yes, FREE to IRWA members. All these courses and leadership modules provide continuing education credits for IRWA recertification. And there s more. RWIEF manages and/or appropriates funding for three scholarship programs. We take this supporting role to heart and are excited to announce our partnering with IRWA in a three-year program to sponsor 40 new scholarships for members seeking their RWA or RWP designation. RWIEF will fund and IRWA will administer the program, set to roll out this June. These scholarships will make a huge impact on these individuals and their employers. So where do RWIEF funds come from? YOU! IRWA Chapter and Region members, along with leading industry corporations, generously donate money along with their time, energy and passion to raise funds. Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of right of way professionals and raise the level of expertise in this industry.
