During the weekend of April 17 UCCTU Treasurer Roy Gingrich and I had the opportunity to attend the Regional TU meeting in Asheville.  Above is a picture of attendees from all chapters in Georgia.  It was good to see Georgia Council Chairman Carl Riggs in one of his first outings since his heart attack.  We wish Carl continued progress in his recovery.

The conference was a great opportunity to share best practices with other chapter leaders and to learn from experts about chapter leadership development, strategic planning, and communications.  It was an excellent conference that generated many practical ideas that I hope to implement at UCCTU.  I came away from the meeting feeling that the regional and national leadership of TU is in good hands.

At this month's meeting we will have a speaker from DNR who is an expert in stream habitat improvement structures.  I hope you will join us for an interesting discussion, and bring a friend or youngster!
