It is an honor and privilege to serve as the ORG 2022 board chair.  As we are all aware, the last few years have not been typical, but it is reality, and we all need to adjust.  Many will recall when Kodak was seen as the iconic name in the camera industry; today, they primarily print paper. As circumstances change, we have an opportunity to change or be left behind.  As an organization, I hope this year we can find ways to connect with all members through multiple forms of interacting together.

We hope to hold more events this year, the first of which will be January 25th for a virtual technical meeting.  Other events we plan on holding are additional technical meetings, annual golf outings, and even a fall social.

This year Doug Foster has moved from program committee member to board treasurer.  We thank you, Doug, for your past service and staying involved in your new role.  We welcome Kathy Perevosnik, who is taking over the program role. If interested in presenting or have an idea for a presentation, don’t hesitate to get in touch with her at kperevosnik@northshorerubber.com.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season and started the year positively.  Happy New Year!
