_-_2024-06-05T085139.026.png) The initial NAWIC 2024-2025 Board election is complete. However, we have a run-off election with the top two candidates for the position of North Central Region Director. Because there were three candidates and no one had the majority vote, the Region will need to vote again.
The new ballots will go out to only the North Central Region members who voted in the initial election.
The run off ballots will go out on Wednesday, June 5th and will be live through Tuesday, June 11th at 11:59pm central time.
The ballot will consist of the following North Central Region Director candidates:
Carla Klatt, LEED GA and Teresa Riley, LEED BD&C
NCR voters, please look for another email with a link to vote from Association Voting, which must be submitted no later than Tuesday, June 11.
 With this year's theme being Keys to the Future, NAWIC wants to provide the resources for students to succeed.
NAWIC will be accepting school supplies that will be donated to the Houston Independent School District and all supplies will be presented at NAWIC's 69th Annual Conference.
If you are attending Annual Conference, supplies will be accepted onsite. If you are NOT attending, donations have to be sent to the NAWIC National office by July 16. Click the link below to donate.
Education / Training
 We often hear about the importance of hard work or of developing a strong work ethic. You know, head down and nose to the grindstone. In my work with business owners and coaching clients, we do talk about “working smarter, not harder.” The counterintuitive approach? If you want a different and quicker approach, give it to someone who is lazy. The theory being that a lazy person will figure out a path to the goal with the least amount of effort.
