Autumn is such a vibrant, visual reminder of the changes that inevitably occur in our lives. A great many things have changed over the last couple of years, and our industry is now facing the challenges that have resulted — including how to accomplish the vast amount of work that needs to get done while dealing with worker shortages, supply chain issues, escalating construction costs, and navigating the virtual work environment. We know that some of the most passionate volunteers and members of PNCWA are feeling the strain of these challenges, so I wanted to pause and tell you that we understand, we feel similarly, and we are immensely grateful for those of you who continue to advance the mission of PNCWA.
PNCWA is a nonprofit organization that exists to provide people with top-notch education, opportunities to learn about the ever-changing tools and technology in our industry, and the chance to network and connect with others. Our work is critical, and it cannot be done without the tireless efforts of so many of you.
In particular, I want to recognize our sections and section leads and our committee chairs and committee members. While our volunteer board sets and oversees the strategic direction of PNCWA, our sections and committees are truly where the implementation happens — where great ideas, webinars, and summit series presentations are developed, short schools are planned, and people come together to forge meaningful relationships. The impact of PNCWA would not be possible without your service and dedication. Also, a huge thank you to the companies, municipalities, and organizations that offer your employees the chance to give of their time and effort!
Please consider joining a committee or section, and we will find a way to make the best use of your skills, talents, and enthusiasm!
