Current Member Spotlight:
Alan Lawrence, Virtual Snow™
Alan has an engineering degree and an MBA and spent 15 years working in industry with DuPont and Continental Can. In the nineties he left the corporate world and started a boat charter business which, in addition to chartering sailboats, taught people how to sail, navigate and manage their own boats. He had always been an avid skier, and since the boat business was slow in the winter, he got to spent a lot of time in the mountains skiing and learning to snowboard. During that time he began working with USARC teaching physically handicapped people and people with mental disabilities how to ski and snowboard, often using special equipment, which eventually led him to opening a Virtual Snow location in Orange County about four years ago.
"When I had the boat charter business, I got to be a ski bum in the winter. I am too busy in the winter now to do that, so now I get to be a boat bum in the summer instead." —Alan
Anyone interested in working with disabled skiers and boarders can contact me or the USARC. You do not have to be a great skier to help. Some students come down from the top, but many never get off the bunny hill.
Silver and Gold Badges Come to LeTip of Huntington Beach!
Huntington Beach, CA, July 22, 2009. LeTip of Huntington Beach is on the move! Regional Director, Brad Burch recently visited to present both a Silver AND Gold Badge to two of the most noted members of this flagship Orange County Chapter.
Noah Hodgin, Networking Master and LeTip Ambassador was the recipient of his gold badge, 14K gold lapel pin with diamond and his lifetime membership with LeTip International, Inc. Noah has not only been instrumental in growing LeTip of Huntington Beach, he has sponsored many members in chapters all over the United States. He tirelessly seems to appear at every networking and chamber event in the area and sends many new members to other Orange County Chapters.
Simultaneously receiving his silver badge was third term chapter president and telecommunications maven, Jerry Supernaw. Under Jerry’s leadership, LeTip of Huntington Beach grew from 17 to 32 members in 15 months.
The event was a milestone, as Mr. Burch has never presented two such high level badges to members from the same chapter at the same time.
When asked after the meeting how he has led the chapter on such a growth year, Mr. Supernaw quickly deflected any accolades and insisted it was all the good members that have stepped up to the plate and taken proactive leadership roles within the group. He especially acknowledged Wendy Jean, the chapter’s massage therapist and publicity director. Not only does Wendy always get press notices for chapter news in the local papers, she even managed to get a TV commercial to run on the local cable access channel at no charge to the chapter!
Jerry Supernaw now joins the ranks with Past President Tony Hunthausen and founding member, Tom Teraoka, as silver badge holders. Add Noah Hodgin’s gold badge to the mix and you just may want to wear sunglasses the next time you visit LeTip of Huntington Beach (AKA Surf City, USA).
But don't just read about business networking—visit us! Call president Jerry Supernaw at 714.454.9637. |
