Past, Present, and Future - All Working Together

April 24, 2008

Have you ever considered the commitment the PES president makes to PES. I ran into Al Rotz today. He is our President-Elect. As we talked about what was going on with PES, I got to thinking about our officers commitment to the office and to PES. The President-Elect takes part in most if not all of the meetings with the President. Not only that, but the Immediate Past President is also available to help answer any questions about what took place on their watch. This system gives the President a storehouse of data and information. At the committee level there is the same type of commitment. There is a Vice Chair, a Chair, and an Immediate past Chair all working to keep the committees functioning smoothly.
