PRESIDENT’S CORNER

From the Outgoing President

 

The OKC Post had another terrific year in 2011!  Thanks to all of you who have been active participants and avid supporters of SAME!   Your tremendous contributions helped make 2011 one of the finest in our history!  As a result of your efforts, the OKC post received all the SAME streamers with distinction!

 

I am so proud of way that the post continued to support worthwhile efforts such as Rebuilding Together, Future Cities, MATHCOUNTS, and the Oklahoma Regional Science Fair this past year.  And in addition, the post stepped up and collected a whole truckload of diapers for Operation Homefront,  donated over 50 towels to the YWCA Women’s Shelter, sponsored a military family (through Operation Homefront) for Christmas, and supported needy Air Force Reserve and Guardsmen through a donation to Operation Holiday Spirit.

 

Our annual holiday party at the Bricktown Brewery was a smashing success, and a great time was had by all.  If you had to miss this year, you need to make plans to be there in 2012.  It is always a wonderfully fun event.


Installation of our new post officers was held at our monthly luncheon on January 26
th.  Our new post president, Martha Smith, and the rest of the OKC Board of Directors are excited to serve you.  I hope you will continue to provide them your full support in the coming year!   We have some challenges ahead, including hosting the 2013 Texoma and Missouri River Joint Engineering Training Symposium.    I encourage you to get involved and help make our post the best it can be!

 

It has been a pleasure serving as your president for 2011.  The great support of all the other officers, Board members, sustaining members, individual members, and friends of the Oklahoma City Post SAME have made for a fantastic year and I greatly appreciate every single one of you.

From the Incoming President

 

Greetings SAME!

 

It’s the beginning of 2012 and we are off and running. I look forward to being a part of SAME as President of the Oklahoma City Post for 2012.  SAME is a wonderful organization that I love being a part of.  February is here and we are encouraging our members to attend the Joint Engineering Societies banquet in lieu of our monthly luncheon.  There are also several volunteer opportunities available such as Central Oklahoma MATHCOUNTS and the Engineering Fair. 

 

We are setting up our monthly programs and looking for luncheon sponsors so if you are interested please let me know.  You can call me at 405.229.4480 or send me an email at Martha.smith@amec.com.   Information for Rebuilding Together will be sent out in to our email distribution lists.  If you are not on these lists and would like to be please contact Krystal Vickers at kdvickers2@terracon.com. Please be looking for information for upcoming events.  We will be having our annual SAME OKC scholarship golf tournament in September, the readiness and homeland security conference in October, our small business event in November and of course our annual holiday event in December.

 

The OKC Post is preparing for the 2013 Regional Conference that is to be held here in Oklahoma City and we are looking for anyone who is interested in being a part of our planning committee.  If you are interested please contact Alana Hare at hare@assetgroup.com or myself.  This is a great volunteer opportunity.

 

We would like to assist our OU Student Chapter with a social event that includes several firms coming to speak with the students about what their company does and if they offer summer internships.  We will also be looking for someone to sponsor the event by bringing food and drinks. The student chapter is hoping to hold this event near the end of March and if you are interesting in sponsoring or speaking please contact John Truong at john.truong@tinker.af.mil or via phone at 405.734.1228.

 

Let’s make 2012 a great year for SAME, Oklahoma City Post!
