Chairman’s Column Cont.
• Professional Development Offerings • NTEP Growth
Finally, I want to give a big shout out to Don and all the NCWM staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes everyday to ensure you receive outstanding customer service, and NCWM remains successful. Unknown to many of you, our NCWM staff had to vacate our office in downtown Lincoln at very short notice in January because of environmental and safety issues and move to a temporary office in Lincoln which they did gracefully and seamlessly while we search for a new office location. Give them a big Thank You the next time you see them, in Norfolk or sometime sooner. Thanks.
I think these goals capture what we have heard from our members and customers, and with your feedback, we hope to refine and finalize this Strategic Plan. We are also close to launching a pilot Registered Service Agent Program with Retail Motor Fuel and Weighing Devices for service technicians from across the country. It is my honor as NCWM Chairman to invite you to attend the 108th NCWM Annual Meeting July 30 - August 3, 2023 in Norfolk Virginia. Besides the hotel being located in the heart of the city’s charming downtown district, and close to the historic USS Wisconsin, this year’s NCWM Annual meeting is going to be exceptional. At the Annual Meeting, we will have a signing ceremony for an updated Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with our primary partner the NIST Office of Weights and Measures. We have invited the newly formed Community for All Legal Metrologists (CALM) to host their meeting at our Annual Meeting so you can visit with them on Sunday. We are also very excited to host a special session on Women in Weights and Measures that will be both informative and inspiring. These are just a few items on the extensive agenda, and I hope they entice you to attend the annual meeting or better yet motivate you to bring along someone from your organization who may not have had an opportunity to attend an NCWM Annual meeting before. Giving someone from your organization the opportunity to experience an NCWM meeting will reinvigorate their passion about weights and measures and will surely improve your program, and in a few years, they may be representing your state and taking on leadership roles at NCWM.
