Friends,

After almost five years of service, Steel Thunder will be passing the Regional Coordinator torch.  I am grateful for his friendship and mentorship during that time.  During his tenure, we've seen several GLR states jump started. Fortunately, Steel is still serving, focusing on Master Instructor duties.

As grateful as I am for Steel Thunder's contributions I the region, I'm equally excited to return of ITB as the Great Lakes Regional Coordinator!  ITB hails from Michigan and has several years of previous RC experience.  He's a seasoned leader and passionate about developing the next generation of instructors.

Steel - thank you for everything you've done in the role of RC.

ITB - thank you for stepping forward to lead again!  I'm looking forward to working closely with you and the GL team!

Please join me in welcoming ITB back as our Great Lakes RC!   ^:)^

Steel, thanks for all you have done, and glad you're going to continue to be an MI.   :bow:

ITB!!!  He who ran the first IBC I ever attended! I spent 700+ miles and the better part of two days getting to that thing, lemme tell ya, and I learned a ton. (and then.... I had to drive home  ::)  ;D )

SteelThunder: Thanks for your dedication (still ongoing) and sorry we didn't really get a chance to work together as SC/RC, but I hope our paths cross one day.

ITB: Thanks for your commitment to the mission and I look forward to working with you!

Glad to have you aboard ITB. And SteelThunder, thanks for all your past and future service.
