President's Message
Hector Casillas, SR/WA
Chapter 57 President, 2022/2023

Finally, pumpkin spice and fall weather are here.

---

There are great things happening in our chapter from welcoming new members, restarting our course offerings, recognizing recipients of professional designations at luncheons, and hearing about all the great projects we are all delivering throughout the region!  The board is hard at work in planning for the rest of 22/23 FY, which includes a spring picnic on Earth Day, April 22, 2023, at Rancho Jurupa Regional Sports Park, where you and your families are invited.
​
​The chapter recently hosted an event at TopGolf in Ontario and all in attendance had a blast. Past president, Matt Nusenow, won the Championship trophy!  Like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/irwa57/) or follow us on our new Instagram page (IRWA_Chapter_57) for pictures.

Peggy Barnes, Kelley Kelley, Robbie Hechanova, and I attended the IRWA Region 1 Fall Forum in October where we learned of a new scholarship opportunity called Leader's Light the Way 2.0. Please take a look at the Right of Way Education Foundation's website, https://www.rwief.org/, which is available to any member with at least two years of IRWA membership.

A few important emails to call to your attention are your IRWA membership renewal invoice and notification of registration opening for the IRWA Annual Conference in Denver, CO.
​
​I am looking forward to the holidays and to our next luncheon where I'll see you all in person.  We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
