How many times have you heard, “Wow, this year has flown by!”? I’ve heard it more times than I can count and I’ve said it probably at least as many times. We are well into the holiday hustle and bustle already! I’ve been looking longingly out my window for snow, but so far, nothing but a little of the white stuff mixed with rain. Finger’s crossed!

Chapter 3 had a very successful Symposium this fall. I hope you were able to attend! The feedback has been very positive, from both speakers and attend-ees. I’d like to again thank the team of dedicated,

Lori Hathaway, RWA, R/W-RAc

hardworking folks that helped put on the Symposium. It most definitely is a team effort. If you weren’t able to make it this year, please consider coming next year. We are intending to have another next fall.

By now you should have gotten a survey via email from Anna Michalski asking your opinion about our monthly chapter meetings. It’s a short six question survey, and I hope you will take a quick moment to fill it out. We are considering some changes to the cost, location and frequen-cy of our monthly chapter meetings and your opinion matters.

Like many of you, I tend to reflect during this time of the year. Even though things seem to be busy and moving so fast, it’s good to stop and take a breath for a minute. My wish for us all is to be able to see the good in people, to be thankful for what we have, and to be able to spend some quality time with those we love.

I hope to see you all at the Chapter 3 holiday party!

Education AssistanceWORF tuition assistance is available to all Chapter 3 members for IRWA, classroom numbered courses. WORF is not available for online courses.

Here’s how it works...A member registers online with IRWA HQ and then they will email a copy of their course registration to the WORF representative. Once WORF representative receives the request for assistance and proof of registration the member and HQ will receive a letter confirming WORF’s assistance to pay half of the course tuition. Members are limited to $500 per year.

Once you have completed the course, HQ, will send a copy of the sign in sheet to WORF along with an invoice for eligible members. WORF will then order a check and send it to HQ along with approvals for the tuition assis-tance.

HQ will then reissue a check to the member for the amount of assistance. Note: If the tuition was paid by an em-ployer, it is the members responsibility to turn over the amount of assistance received by WORF.

“WOW!” “Superb venue!” “I haven’t had this much fun at a con-ference in years!” “So nice to see local flavor brought back to the

This year marks the 40th anniversary of RWIEF! How fitting to “kick off” our 40th year from Nashville with this fabulous event. Stay tuned to our website for more anniversary news and be sure to watch the Night in Downtown Nashville slide show on our website at www.rwief.org. You might just see your own boots scootin’ across the floor!!

event.” “It was amazing to witness such a successful Monday night event. Kudos to the Foundations!” “Well worth the ticket price.” These are just a sampling of your comments after the Monday night event at the Wildhorse Saloon in downtown Nashville.

Wonder how the Monday night event started? Here is a little history. The conference used to run Sunday through Thursday. On Monday evenings, IRWA hosted a networking event that focused on local interest and flavors. On Tuesday evenings an auction was held, raising funds for the Foundations. In 2007 the conference was shortened, ending on Wednesday. The auction was then included in the Monday night event.

Last fall IRWA decided to end their hosting of the Monday night event, but wanted to continue as a spon-sor. The RWIEF and CRWEF stepped up to serve as host! From the overwhelming response, with 1,130 attendees -- the largest ever -- we think you had as much fun as we did!

This incredible event would not have been possible without a posse of boots on the ground. Thanks go to our sponsors, our hard-working volunteers, the Foundations’ Trustees and the staunch support re-ceived from you, the IRWA members! With your attendance and our sponsors’ generous donations, the Foundations raised approximately $102,000 for right of way education programming!! Thank you for joining us and please thank our sponsors for their continued commitment to education:

BriefsJoe Gray encouraged early planning for the 2017 Northwest Regional Conference. He also reminded the Board that there needs to be a replacement for him as the Chair of the Transportation Committee. Changes at ODOT Joe Gray reported that he is retiring from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as of January 1, 2017, and will be working for Sound Transit in Washington State. Scott Claus is the interim Right of Way Manager at ODOT. Mike Stone is the Assistant State Right of Way Manager, and there are other openings as well. Monthly Chapter Luncheons Subsidizing: Lori Hathaway reminded the Board that Chapter 3 typically subsidize the cost of lunch meetings. Most chapters charge the actual cost of the lunches, or they make a bit of a profit. The budget was discussed, along with the Chapter funds potentially needed for the 2019 Conference. Anna Michalski agreed to provide a report on subsidies provided for lunches for the past three years. Location: Anna Michalski agreed to send a survey to members regarding preference for location of the monthly luncheon meetings, as well as the costs charged to members for the lunches. Anna said she would create a craft survey and send it to the Board for review; it will focus on location and the amount charged for lunches. Summer Meetings: Summer meetings are often not well attended. The report that Anna provides will include questions so an informed decision can be made regarding holding summer meetings and luncheons. It was mentioned that when a member registers for a luncheon, they can register on line and pay at that time. So when a specific number of attendees must be guaranteed, this will ensure that all who register also pay. Providing education credits for attending lunches was also discussed.
