Message from the President By Jeff Powell, President
T
here are a few people I would like to acknowledge for their hard work this year. Mike Harris, a current board member, has been selected by past president Patrick Davidson and me to be Treasurer; if that is not enough, he has agreed to be the Finance Committee Chair and is doing a superb job. We have formed a fund-raising committee headed up by board member Tony Salas of Anchor Bank. Tony is working on ways to find more sustainable income for the Chamber and provide long-term membership benefits to our members. I know he has several great ideas and we will soon be introducing them to the membership. Angelique Wilson is the new Human Resource Chair. Angelique is the owner of Professional Temp Staffing Agency and has a strong background in this area. She will be working on updating our policies and procedures. I want to point out how fortunate the Chamber is to have a first rate board of directors and executive officers leading the way for the Chamber. Please take a look at the Community Resource Guide or the Lacey Chamber web site to see who they are. I am impressed and I am sure you will be too.
Raj Manhas is the new superintendent for the North Thurston Public Schools. He has experienced a great deal of success in the past working in the public school system. We are very pleased to have him join us at the May Forum to share what changes, goals, and objectives he has in store for the District. Raj has an impressive resume that goes beyond K-12 education. Before he became superintendent for the Seattle Public Schools, Raj helped erase a $35 million budget deficit as their Chief Operations officer. Prior to that, he had a successful banking career and put his engineering and people skills to work as Director of Operations for Seattle Public Utilities. We look forward to hearing what ideas Raj has for the future of North Thurston Public Schools.
