November Austin Chapter TPREIA Meeting

Tuesday, November 19th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm CST
Round Rock, TX

I'd like to quickly highlight what this particular email will cover as we are nearing the end of the year:

  1. November guest speaker
  2. New board member selections
  3. Upcoming 2-day TPREIA class in Georgetown (free for members!)

November guest speaker

Our guest speaker(s) for this meeting will be Caroline Harrison with ASR Pool.  After an unforeseen scheduling snafu last month, Caroline will educate us on a current problematic issue in Real Estate known as "concrete cancer", a common term for a process called “alkali-silica reaction” (ASR).  If you're not familiar with this issue, here is some background. If you inspect pools or have considered pool inspection services, this is a must-attend meeting!

New board member selections

As we near the end of the year and prepare for our December chapter Christmas get together, we will be nominating / voting / securing next year's board members for next year.  Our current board is as follows:

  • President - Jesse Bryant
  • Vice President - Jeff Skelton
  • Secretary - Michael Tomasz
  • Treasurer - Kenneth Singer
  • Director of Education - Steve Powers
  • Director of PR / Membership - Mike Van Becelaere
  • Member at Large - Gary Parsons
  • Past President - Ken Cofer

I want to share some information regarding the election of new board members. Serving on our board is a rewarding experience, and we invite both seasoned board members and first-time participants to consider running for a position.

For those of you who are currently serving and wish to continue, we truly value your ongoing commitment and expertise, and we encourage you to remain involved. At the same time, we would also like to highlight the opportunity for any members who have not yet served on the board to take on a role. Fresh perspectives and diverse ideas are key to our chapter’s growth, and we welcome new faces to step up and make an impact.

Benefits of Board Membership:

  • Professional Development: Serving on the board offers a chance to gain deeper insights into our industry, as well as hands-on experience in leadership and organizational management.
  • Recognition and Credibility: Board members can enhance their professional standing and credibility. Board membership is a distinguishing credential, and it can be a valuable addition to email signatures, marketing materials, and other professional contexts.
  • Networking Opportunities: Board members often have closer interaction with industry leaders, other experienced inspectors, and those in related fields, expanding professional networks.
  • Influence on Chapter Direction: As a board member, you’ll have a direct voice in shaping the direction of our chapter and advocating for the needs and concerns of our members.
  • Personal Growth: Beyond professional skills, board service helps develop strategic thinking, communication, and teamwork—qualities that serve us well in every aspect of our lives.

If you’re interested in serving on the board or continuing your current role, please feel free to reach out or, at a minimum, attend the upcoming November meeting. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead with enthusiastic and dedicated leaders to guide us forward!
