Candidate Statement for LOPSA Board 2015

There's been a change at LOPSA recently.  Less talking, more doing.  My name is William Bilancio and I am proud to be part of that change. 

Recent accomplishments:

  • 5 successful conferences: I chaired the inaugural PICC 2010, mentored Cascadia IT 2011, 2012 and 2013 and coordinated the hotel/food and audio visual contracts and getting all the trainers for PICC 2011, 2012, LOPSA-East ‘13 and LOPSA-East ‘14.  All three were profitable before the doors opened.  A combined total of more than 150 new LOPSA memberships were gained and put over $9,000 in LOPSA's bank account.
     
  • Working on getting the LOPSA web site looking more modern and upgraded to Drupal 7 as well as getting forums up and running as well
     
  • Hosted the LOPSA board retreat at my office in NJ to save money for the past 4 years.
     
  • Member and chair of the LOPSA Education Committee since 2005, coordinating our efforts at SCALE, OLF and more.
