One of my mandates as president is to provide mentorship to those coming up in the industry. I cannot stress the importance of mentorship enough. I am sure someone during your time in the industry was a mentor (or provided mentorship), possibly without you even knowing it.

Becoming CSC president has me following in some very large footsteps courtesy of past presidents Wyatt Eckert and Greg Hofsted. Both set an excellent example for me and the entire executive team.

As echoed by many of my predecessors, my term as president went by too fast. The last 12 months have, in some ways, felt like 12 weeks. That said, it is remarkable to remember where we were just one year ago and how much our lives have fundamentally changed for the foreseeable future.

It may be tempting to think memberships are no longer relevant because social media and e-learning are dominating our attention. However, a CSC membership is worth your time, effort, and hard-earned dollars for many reasons.
