My
name is Thania Balcazar and I am your Regional Student Representative for
Region 5 for the 2009-2010 term. I am from Fort Worth, Texas and I am a
senior in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. It is
an honor to be serving and representing all of you because I know that each of
you possess the qualities of a great leader. Moreover, I know that you
have the same passion as I do for SHPE or you would not have taken the position
that you are in now. As your RSR, I will proudly show off our talented
population with poise, distinction, and professionalism.
I
have proposed some goals for our region and need your help to reach each one of
them. My strategic plan will show you how it is possible to align my
goals with your chapter goals and that with dedication, hard work, and great
communication, we will have many accomplishments in the forthcoming school
year.
I
want to remind you that leaders do not command excellence, they build
excellence. Moreover, pursuing excellence should not be confused with
accomplishing a job or task. As I mentioned before, you possess the
passion for this organization so I know that all of you will pursue excellence
rather than just accomplish each objective that I have proposed. I am
very excited to work with all of you and please never hesitate to contact me
for any reason. Region 5, Let’s feel the vibe!
