I would like to propose that we have the next meeting in Burlington on Wednesday September 19th – perhaps from 2pm to 4pm. If another time, or even another day is better for any of you, that would be fine too.

The 18th – 20th would be best for me.  We have onsite training the week of the 10th.

Good morning Folks,

I hope that all of you are enjoying the warmer months and the longer days (in terms of daylight, not work hours).  I want to share some information with the group.

In July we conducted on-line voting for the nominations for officers that were made during the June meeting.  The following nominations were made (there was only one nomination per position):

            President – Tom Kureczka
            President-Elect – Jane Nickles
            Secretary – Nancy Brown
            Treasurer – Martha Brintle

The results of the voting via email and the listserv were 17 Yays and 0 Nays.   Jane, Nancy, and Martha will be great folks to work with as we move forward as an organization.  All three of these ladies gladly accepted their respective nominations, we did not have to twist any arms.  If you know them then you are aware of the passion that each brings to their work and organization, and I am sure this will carry over as we take on regional opportunities.

I was hoping and intending to schedule our next meeting in August.  However, with competition from the GMIS Conference, NC Digital Summit Conference, NCLGISA meetings, the Wyndam championship, and vacations, August simply did not look like a good month to get us together and expect good participation.  I would like to schedule the next meeting for either the September 11th – 13th time period or September 18th – 20th time period.  I am not aware of any conferences or major events that would draw us away, if there are any please respond and share.  We will likely have the meeting either in a Winston-Salem facility or the PTRC facility in Kernersville, more to follow on that.

I think a couple of items discussed in the June Roundtable discussion merit being on the next agenda.  One was the concept of using our respective organizations for shadowing opportunities.  For example, a young network engineer from one agency spends time shadowing a senior engineer from another agency.  There are many ways this could be structured, as the June conversation illustrated.

Another item from June was the association putting together some form of documentation or portfolio on who we are, what we offer, and what assets we have in place, such as data centers, fiber, and training facilities.  We could use this portfolio for sharing with folks such as members within the COG, vendors that may want to make unsolicited proposals on working with us (think about the fiber from Burlington to Greensboro to Winston-Salem example), and other marketing purposes.  It would also be very valuable for ourselves.  If we have a weather disaster it would be very beneficial for an agency that was hit hard to turn to this document immediately to see who can possibly offer help, such as use of a data center, than to try to locate options after the crisis hits.

Please share other ideas and topics that you want to offer for both the next agenda and long term.

Thanks, Tom
