As the new Regional Student Representative for Region 1, I hope to bridge the gap between the student chapters and the regional/national board. I plan on doing this by properly informing and communicating to the chapters the many resources that are available to them to accomplish their goals and set new ones as well. I hope to properly convey SHPE’s mission in expanding our efforts to more communities by helping the chapter’s grow and flourish. As a resource, I will help answer any and all questions and provide a lending hand to my SHPE familia.
