PRESIDENT ’ S MESSAGE
“ If you ’ ve come this far , maybe you ’ re willing to come a little further .”
-Andy Dufresne in the Shawshank Redemption .
As my last President ’ s message , I would be remiss not to find a way to work in at least one quote from the Shawshank Redemption , as this is one of my all-time favorite movies and there is a host of quotes to pick from . To me , the above quote speaks to committing to a plan , and that once you ’ ve put a plan into motion , to push through and see it through to fruition . I had not planned to serve as your President this past year , only to stand in until someone more suitable came along , but when no such person materialized , I took on the role only hoping not to crash and burn ( please see August 2023 president ’ s message ). Having now completed my term , I would like to think we exceeded my admittedly low expectations , and have our brilliant board of directors , volunteers and membership to thank for that achievement . Thank you to everyone who contributed !
Please bear in mind the success of last year ’ s program and our future accomplishments relies on you . Continue to join us for our Lunch and Learn series to enhance your body of knowledge and know that your unceasing participation and donations to our scholarship fund via the Golf Tournament and Engineer ’ s Day are fueling the educational opportunities for future generations of engineers . Your involvement makes the difference .
As I hand the reins to our new President Michael Eno , I wish him the best of luck with the coming year and briefly point you to a few of the events we have planned for the very near future . The annual ASCE-NH Golf Tournament will be held on August 9 th at the Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord , NH . A new joint EVENT with the Structural Engineers of NH ( SENH ) will have us hosting you at the Fisher Cats on August 23 rd and our annual joint meeting with SENH will not be far behind when the calendar flips to September . Keep an eye on your email for these notifications .
As I look back on all we accomplished last year , I ’ m pleased to say I was willing to come just a little further and would ask you to consider the same as our president-elect position remains open . So are you willing to come a little further ? Just think , if I can do it , surely you can do it better !
