Happy Fall Duluth Section!  

I hope everyone enjoyed their summer and had a chance to enjoy the nice warm summer we had in our region.   
 

Our next luncheon is on September 22 at 12 pm at the Barr Duluth office in Duluth, MN.  Our speaker will be Emily Jennings from SEH.  She will be presenting on “Designing for the Storms of Tomorrow: Using Climate Adjusted Rainfall in Water Resources Planning and Design".  It will be a great presentation that you won’t want to miss.  Please use the collaborate link (coming soon) to RSVP so we can plan for food.  If you are unable to use the collaborate link, please send me a message.   

The section board has nominated the following officer positions which will be voted upon at the September luncheon. Our current Vice President Tyler Yngsdal for President. Our current secretary for Vice President, and Jeremy Carlson our current secretary for Treasurer. That leaves our secretary position and a couple chair seats open.  Please let us know if you are interested in the position.  
 

If anyone wants to be on the ballot to fill any of these positions, please let me know. All seats will be put to a vote. Without volunteers like you, our section will not have a full leadership team. If you or anyone you know would be interested in a great networking and leadership opportunity, please reach out to anyone on the board.    
 

We will also be voting to ratify our new section bylaws which the board has been working on updating to better reflect our current section. I will provide a draft for review in advance of the meeting.  

 
Also, keep a look out for our Sponsorship letters for our Section, that should be sent to your office’s. They keep the lights on here for our section and help us 
provide opportunities for you and our community.   
 

Finally, I want to thank all the current Board Member’s for their support this past year. I have been active on the board since 2012 in many different capacities over the years, and it has been an invaluable experience. Please do consider a position on the board and many thanks to all of you that already have served in these roles. Chair seats are a great opportunity to see how we operate.
