President's Message
By Ramie Dawit, RWP

Hello, my fellow Chapter 57 members. I hope this message finds you all well. Me? Just getting back to the routine of it all. Summer has ended and kids are back to school! And I’m geared up and ready for my term as Chapter President.

This year, we had the International Education Conference in beautiful Virginia Beach. It was well attended with lots of seminars and courses offered. Paul Mim Mack, our chapter treasurer shares more details about the event further down. Scroll below to check out some highlights that Paul is sharing with us. Our next international education conference will be in Omaha, Nebraska, June 26-29. I hope to see you all there!

​Please make sure to come out to our luncheons and listen in on the various topics we have selected for you. We host them every other month, with the exception of  skipping 1 month around the holidays. Luncheons are September, November, February, April & June.

Our September luncheon will be quite interesting. We have Hector Casillas from RCTC and Bernadette Duran-
Brown from Nossaman speaking on How AI is Impacting ROW. Not sure about you all but I am so ready to hear how AI is impacting our industry.

Lastly, we will be working to offer more courses through our chapter this year. We are looking to see what courses our members are most in need of so that we can focus on those. To do that, we will be sending out a survey to all our
members. I ask you all to please take a moment and make your selections. Courses may be in person or virtual. Also, for those not aware, the chapter reimburses for the last course you take right before your SRWA. So, let’s get
er’ don folks!! 😊

All the best,
Ramie Dawit, RWP
Chapter 57 President 25/26
