NEF President's Message

Forum season is in full swing, and three (3) regions have or will offer paper-pencil testing for NEF certification courses during their Forums! This is fantastic news for the participants, and it means that more NAWIC members understand the value of NEF’s programs and are requesting testing opportunities. Hopefully, we can look to more participation at the Region events in the future.

Just a reminder that NEF will be conducting a full-day study and testing session for the Construction Document Technician (CDT) course at Annual Conference. If you have been wanting to get a NEF certification, this would be the perfect opportunity. Stop waiting – purchase your textbook and testing package today, mark your calendars, and join us on Tuesday, August 20, 2019!

NEF will also be bringing back our Arms-Length Extravaganza at Annual Conference, and we all know this event cannot be successful without generous donations. If every NAWIC chapter were to donate one item valued at $25.00 or more, the possibilities of what could be offered this year are endless! As an added incentive, donations for the Arms-Length Extravaganza will be counted toward the respective Region’s donation totals. Don’t delay and get those prizes sent into the NEF office ASAP!

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of our Board Members or our Administrator, Patti Susko, for assistance.

Sincerely,

Tammy

NEF Trustee 2018-2020

I have been asked to explain why I became involved with NEF and I will begin my brief explanation with the following quote by Winston Churchill:

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

All the material things have come and gone, but the one thing in my life that has lasted through all the ups and downs was my education and lessons learned.   I have a desire to share what I have learned and to help others find answers they may seek.  In exploring what NEF does currently and wants to accomplish in future – I have found it to be a perfect recipient of my ‘give’.

Thank you,
Tanya
