I started this blog many years ago to help me prepare for taking the office of President of the Baltimore Chapter of CSI. In the years since, I have served CSI at the chapter, region and national levels, including two years as national Board Chair, served on our parish council, including two years as chair, served on our boy scout troop committee, including several years as chair, have been elevated to Fellow in CSI and to principal in our firm. Let's just say leadership is not accidental, but more on that in another time.
Across the last nearly 20 years, my blogging was rarely consistent, though I do enjoy it. When I was elected Board Chair-elect for CSI's FY 2019, I made a conscious effort to not blog much for the next four years. I was privy to much more private information and worried it might slip out into my work. I also worried that revealing aspects of my work in our firm, might raise eyebrows or cause concern as well. I am now no longer on CSI's board and can work to not raise eyebrows in our firm. I'm ready to get back to blogging!
The other trouble with my blogging, is I'm never quite happy with a post. I write it, edit it, edit it more, forget about it and six months go by without me posting it. Sometime this week, you will read a post that was just that way. I left CSI board service July 1, 2023. It was bittersweet, so I blogged about it. I worked on the post across the summer and now, nearly one year later, I haven't posted it. I also have several other drafts from across the last few years that I will repackage and post in the coming weeks. I'm also working on something new to post.
I appreciate all who read and please feel free to comment. I'm hoping to post something every week or so, so please keep reading!
Thanks,
Marv
