The NEBB Professional 2024 - Quarter 2

volunteering into the equation can be overwhelming. Time management is obviously the key to not losing my sanity, but I truly enjoy my time with NEBB so that makes it easy. NP: How do you feel your involvement with NEBB has been an investment in yourself and your career? MK: I have learned so much from the people that I have had the opportunity to work with within this organiza tion which is invaluable, not only professionally, but also personally. There is a lot of in-depth discussion in the conference room, but some of the most valuable conversations are in the hallway or over dinner in a re laxed atmosphere. Working with NEBB has given me the opportunity to learn from past Technical Directors David Bevirt and Andy Nolfo, which is something I will never forget. NP: What would you like to see for the future of NEBB? MK: I would like to see NEBB continuing to be at the forefront of the industry. The opening of the Robert

B. Gawne Training Center allows for more hands-on training at our seminars and we need to stay on top of all technology advancements. I would also like to see the continued success of our young professionals, and see them grow within the organization to become our next group of leaders. NP: How do you see NEBB transforming in years to come? MK: Again, staying on top of all technology advance ments, as well as all disciplines by producing the best Procedural Standards and Seminars to continue the be the leaders in the industry. We all want NEBB to con tinue to be the premier certification association. NEBB’s Certified Professionals are the industry leaders and we need to continue to get them active in the or ganization. NEBB was built on its volunteers, and we currently have a talented group, but we need to recruit the next generation to keep NEBB as the premier certi fication association.
