Greetings SAME NoVA Post Members!
December holidays are upon all of us and calendar year 2023 is quickly ending. Spending time with family enjoying the variety of celebrations and ringing in the new year is a top priority for everyone. SAME NoVA Post and I wish everyone a happy holiday and the best in 2024.
The November 9th Resilience Committee event highlighting the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations identified the unique challenges being faced in climate security and resilience across 287 worldwide diplomatic locations and how those challenges are being faced head-on.
The SAME DC and NoVA Post Leadership and Mentoring Program graduation was on December 8 and the team is currently evaluating next year's applications for participants. Great chance to learn from some of the best in SAME and in the AEC industry. The NoVA Post teamed up with the DC Post again to support Wreaths across America at Arlington National Cemetery on December 16 to honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, comments, improvements, or criticisms, please contact me or any of the Post Board members to discuss.
Thanks for your incredible support of the NoVA Post!
