From the Desk of Chris Vicari:

Members,

I would like to recognize LORI STANG as the Volunteer of the Week. Lori has been an SJN member since June, and regularly attends the Southeast meetings. She has a marketing background, specializing in product launches and brand awareness.

For any SJN members who have attended the SJN Southeast meetings, you are aware that SJN Southeast meets at various campus and room locations at both Mesa and Chandler-Gilbert Community Colleges.

Lori overheard several SJN first-timers mention upon their arrival at a campus location being used for the first time that they had difficulty finding the meeting room, even with their campus maps that had been provided.

At the next SJN Southeast meeting, Lori arrived early, with a full set of laminated SJN signs. There were directional signs for the outside doors and hallways (to include semi-attached black arrows that could be changed to point the proper way depending upon the campus location). In addition, Lori brought a set of various Registration Table signs to direct members to the proper table for event check-in.

This is another example of a member who offered to put her energy behind her ideas, and made a positive impact. THANK YOU to Lori.

I ask members to continue to think about ideas of things that SJN could do or services SJN could provide. Ask yourself, “Is there something I can do with my time, talent and ideas to make an impact on the organization and my job seeker peers?” I bet you can!

Blessings and good weekend,

Christine Vicari
