SRAPPA President’s Letter
Paul Wuebold, SRAPPA President 2011-12
Dear SRAPPA Members, Business Partners and Education Professionals,
Let me welcome you to our website and hope that you find the information helpful in learning more about the organization or the opportunities that are available through APPA and SRAPPA. I think you will find SRAPPA leadership and membership motivated towards like goals and involved in making us all better professionals in a competitive industry. We just came off a very successful annual conference in October 2011 in Jackson, Mississippi which was graciously hosted by Jackson State University with all the southern style and charm one would come to expect from our region. During my presentation at the 2011 Awards Banquet on the final night, I laid out some goals and objects that I feel that institutionally we are capable of achieving if we approach these challenges as a team. They are as follows; 1) Provide extensive communication to SRAPPA Board and its members, 2) Create stronger ties with our business partner, 3) Increase SRAPPA membership through personalized recruiting, 3) Increase participation by our stakeholders and 4) Increase our educational opportunities. In October we added a Business Partner Liaison position to the Board Lee Richey, Creative Facilities Solutions, and a committee chairperson, Jeff Turner from the Ohio School District in West Virginia, to head up K-12 efforts which we hope will help achieve goals 2 and 3. We anticipate that both of these valued positions will add substance to the SRAPPA mission and its current and future membership. I encourage all members and potential members to be involved in something very special that not only impacts us professionally but every stakeholder we come in contact with. Collectively, the goals are easily achieved and rewarding. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments on how we can meet individual or organization needs. Your input is valued!
Respectfully,
Paul Wuebold
