Kittyhawk Post President’s Message

Message from the President

In life the places you live and the people you know will inevitably change. You will change as an individual throughout the years, but how you develop and grow as a professional is up to you. That is when your own initiative and passion come into play.

I came to the Kittyhawk Post in 2009; this year will be my 15th year as a SAME member and the journey has been great. The people I have met have changed me for the better and I hope I’ve had an impact on them as well.

I have found that this group puts others before themselves and has a sense of duty to serve. The core principals of any good military family.

The programs SAME provides its more than 25,000 members from across military, government, industry, and academia with extensive opportunities for education, training, and networking through offering of conferences, workshops, community events, publications, webinars, leader development, STEM outreach, support our entire community. Allowing for growth from general education, to higher education and up through someone’s professional life. I encourage everyone to become engaged and take advantage of what SAME has to offer.

So, as I take on this next chapter in the Kittyhawk Post annals; let me just say that the ship will remain steady and we will continue to grow together.
