“There is a force in the universe that makes things happen and all you need to do is get in touch with it. Stop thinking, just let things happen, and BE THE BALL”. Chevy Chase, Caddyshack.

I can’t believe that it was almost four years ago that I became the President of the ISA Denver Section, time sure does fly and a lot has happened. When I took over as the Section President, I had been active on the ISA Certified Automation Professional ® (CAP ®) Exam Writing and Exam Assembly Committees but had served at no other capacity at Section, District, or Society level.

A year or so later, in October of 2008, I was approached by Steve Pflantz (2007-2008 Vice President, ISA District 8) and Keith Thomas (2007-2008 Vice President-Elect, ISA District 8) and asked if I would accept a nomination to be the 2009-2010 Vice-President-Elect for District 8. I accepted the nomination and was subsequently elected to be the Vice President-Elect for District 8, where I began working closely with Keith Thomas (2009-2010 Vice President, ISA District 8). I’ve learned a lot from Keith over these last two years and I’m looking forward to our continued work together, as Keith has been elected the Nominator and Treasurer for District 8.
