As a large and diverse organization, we must continue to challenge ourselves and our actions to ensure that we are appropriately addressing the changing market and needs of our members while maintaining strong partnership between NSPE and state societies.

experience will bring new perspectives and fresh direction to the future of the Society.

Re: Letter in support of the candidacy of Kodi Jean Church, P.E, J.D., F.NSPENSPE Vice President for 2014-2015 Term

Dear Members of the Candidate Screening Committee,

I am writing to personally and enthusiastically endorse the candidacy of Kodi Jean Church, P.E, J.D., F.NSPE for the position of NSPE Vice President.

I have known Kodi since meeting her at the 2009 NSPE national conference in St. Louis Missouri. Ms. Church and I have served together on two NSPE national committees, 1) the 2010-2012 Standard of Practice task force, and 2) the 2011-2012 Membership RetentionTask Force.

Ms. Church has the ability, experience and character traits needed to be an effective leader of the National Society. I have observed Ms. Church be consistent, productive and timely in her committee assignments. She is prudent in her communications and has sound judgment; this was prominently on display during our work together on the Standard of Practice Task Force, where, while being careful to avoid providing formal legal advice (as this was not her role!) she was able to provide substantial insight on this issue from the perspective of her own practice as a professional engineer and attorney, cautioning the committee members to avoid a “one size fits all” definition of the standard of practice or care and to look to court decisions to learn how the standard of care had been defined.

Since the completion of these efforts, Ms. Church has moved on to serve as the North Central Region Director for the National Society for 2012-2014, adding regional representation and governance at the national level to her resume of experienceMs. Church has also been a leader in her state society, serving on its Executive Committee and subsequently as its Secretary/Treasurer and then President in 2010 before moving to the Minnesota Professional Engineers Foundation board in 2011. The Minnesota Society has been active and effective in its own activities, having withstood the precipitous membership decline that took place in many other state societies over the past decade, a result which is both to the credit Minnesota

society’s paid and volunteer leadership and also, I most strongly assert, must be duplicated at the National level for our society’s continued viability as a professional organization.

I believe that Ms. Church will bring energy, fresh insights and an ability to connect with recently graduated engineers and engineering students, encouraging them by both exhortation and example to seek licensure and join NSPE and its state affiliates.

Retaining existing professional members, developing active and engaged state society leadership and effective national and state-level recruiting efforts of a younger demographic through providing motivation to get registered and join are all absolutely vital to the growth and development of NSPE as a viable professional society that accomplish its mission.

I believe that Ms. Church has the ability to successfully improve the society’s efforts in all three of these areas, and enthusiastically support her candidacy for Vice President of NSPE without any reservation. She’s the kind of leader that we need to both survive and thrive.

Please contact me if you should have any further questions.

I proudly and humbly offer this personal endorsement for Ms. Kodi Jean Church for the position of2014- 2015 NSPE Vice-President. I have had the pleasure of working with Kodi for the last five years as a fellow member of the NSPE House of Delegates. Her dedication and committment to our profession, and our society, has been truly inspiring.

Kodi Jean not only embodies the very ethical foundation our society is based upon, but fully embraces the direction I believe NSPE needs to adopt moving forward. As engineers, we must never lose sight of our own Hippocratic Oath ... protecting the public health, safety and welfare. Kodi Jean personifies this commitment, and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her.

I will not recite her resume here . . . she has vast and admirable service records for both NSPE and MnSPE. I will, however, adamantly voice my support and endorsement for Kodi Jean as our next Vice-President.

At this special time of year, I want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God bless you all!

Dear Committee,

It is with great pleasure that I recommend to you Kodi Jean Church, PE, F.NSPE for 2014 – 2015 NSPE Vice President. Kodi has proven herself to be exceptionally qualified for the position, and she has the skills, the mindset, and the initiative to lead NSPE into the future.

Kodi’s hard work and dedication to NSPE have been self evident in her service to various NSPE committees and task forces over the past numerous years. I had the privilege of working with her in the NSPE Membership Committee for the previous two years, with her serving as chair of the committee this year. In the current state of introspection and change within NSPE, Kodi has been at the forefront of the Race for Relevance, vice-chairing the Membership Retention Task Force. Her work and the work of the other members of that key task force have proven to be invaluable and will help to make some much needed improvements in NSPE.

Through her service on the Membership Committee and Race for Relevance Task Forces, she has shown herself to be capable of tackling very difficult tasks and to be effective at fostering compromise on divisive issues. She also conveyed a willingness to accept and develop new ideas and methods for recruiting and retaining members. These are essential attributes for the future leadership of NSPE, as adherence to the old ways will not help reverse the decrease in membership that we have been experiencing for the last decade.

As a member of the NSPE Board of Directors since 2012, Kodi has gained experience and insight into the workings of the leadership of the organization. She has established a great working relationship with the other members of the Board and Executive Committee, which will allow her to hit the ground running as Vice President.

In the recent years, I have been very pleased with the NSPE leadership’s commitment to keeping NSPE on pace with the changing times. Kodi is exactly the Vice President we need to further those efforts and lead NSPE into its bright and vibrant future.
