 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
President's Message: Farewell
Cherise Lakeside, CSI, CDT, Chapter President

This writing marks my final Presidents message to Portland CSI.  Beginning July 1st, Ellen Onstad of Dodge Data (who was actually born into CSI) will be your new Chapter President.  Ali Clark of Emerick Construction will be your new President Elect.  I will still be around as Immediate Past President for a while.
It has been a bit of a struggle to write this column.  What exactly do I want to say?  What words of wisdom can I impart as I step down and let the new leadership take over.
It only took a moment of thought - It's about the people! READ MORE >
