The Annual Chapter Executives Orientation gives new leaders an opportunity to engage with Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú staff and better understand the national-level resources that are at their disposal.
The newest Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú Chapter Executives descended upon Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú National for the annual Chapter Executives Orientation. This session is an opportunity for these new leaders to learn more about the workings of Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú at the national level and better understand some of the resources available to chapters and their members. The Chapter Executives in attendance were Laura Sayer (Brantford/Hamilton/Niagara Ontario), Susan Miller (St. Louis, MO), Megan Pope and Kathleen Unger (Miami Valley & Cincinnati, OH), Tony Morganelli (Ontario), Darlene Schiffli (Tulsa, OK), and Stacey Smyly, (Kansas City, MO).
During the orientation, the executives in attendance got an outline of Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú’s structure from CEO Aaron Hilger. This was followed by presentations by the Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú departments detailing their significant functions and role in supporting all of Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú’s chapters. In addition to this, the group participated in Accelerate Your Impact (AYI) sessions addressing topics such as contractor education, peer groups, event planning, and the Rapid Response Protocol. The Chapter Executives also participated in Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú’s Bias and Belonging training in Chantilly. Finally, the attendees had a chance to listen to presentations from several of Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú’s partners in the industry, including the International Training Institute (ITI), the Sheet Metal Occupational Health Trust (SMOHIT), and the National Energy Management Institute (NEMI).
