Our chapter excited to welcome

Brenda as a member. Even

before she became a member

she was already volunteering.

She not only helped judge at

the Block Kids event, but she

also was a speaker at the event

and did a fantastic job!

Liz Beyer was born and raised in San Antonio.

Although she grew up around Beyer Plumbing,

she graduated with a bachelors degree in

business. For the past 12 years she has taught

business classes and has been a high school

coach. This is her first year back in the

construction world.

She loves hanging out with her family and enjoys

playing and watching sports. Something else she

enjoys is hunting and fishing with her Dad. She is

single with two bulldogs. This past year she was

blessed by becoming an Aunt. Liz also travels eve-

ry chance she gets!

Working with her family is one of the best parts of

her job. Her work family consists of actual blood

relatives and people who have been there since

the beginning who are like family and just as

close.

She looks forward to growing and becoming more

knowledgeable in her new career. She would like to know more about the industry

and continue to push herself. It has been a big change from teaching, but is has

been a good change.

Liz is interested in becoming more involved with NAWIC and would like to help with

different events. Some that caught her eye were the Block Kids and the wreath lay-

ing. We are very excited Liz is involved!

She also sits as an associate board

member with the PHCC-San Antonio.

We had to cancel the January Lunch and Learn. With this crazy flu going

around and so many people sick, the turn out was a little light. We are

definitely continuing the Lorman Lunch and Learn and hope to see some

new faces at the next one.

The next one will be held during WIC Week on Friday, March 9th. It will

be held at Texas Air Systems. As we move closer to the date, a topic will

be selected.
