Prez Sezpg 2

All,

Chapter elections are this week. We have heard from your in-coming president, Matt Gossett, who with the help of the chap-ter board compiled a slate of officers to be elected, sworn in to carry on the leadership roles of this chapter. Chapters are the life blood of this organization.

Here is a thought I know most of us have thought before, at least once; who was it or how was it I ended up in Right-of-Way. Not a profession my school aged children run around pre-tending to be or dream of being sometime in the future.

Never the less, we are essential profession that literally make this country and world go round with the building of infrastruc-ture, roads and the like.

The Right-of-Way profession is an integral part of the foundation of the transportation and infrastructure that the citizens of our

Our local chapter provides educational opportunities included classroom education here in Oregon and SW Washington these professionals.

The International Right of Way Association along with its local Chapter 3 provides the thread that bonds these various professions, the companies and agencies together. It provides increasing opportunities for professional development for each individual who provide these services on a daily basis to make our City of Portland such a great place to live, work and play.

Come join me at our Education Symposium and the Region 7 Forum, April 10, 11th & 12th.

I encourage you, the chapter membership and potential membership to bring your clients, colleagues, su-pervisor and/or manager to one of our Chapter General Membership Meetings, education offerings or spe-cial events. Help them experience the value of your IRWA and Chapter 3 membership first hand.

Have a creative idea for holding an educational offering for your agency, employer or the chapter, a commu-nity service project, job fair or special offering you would like to see our chapter provide or participate in? Contact me or any of the elected officers and/or committee chairs. We are here for you.

As always, be on the lookout for future gatherings and educational offerings in the newsletter and on our chapter website, www.irwachapter3.com. We are continuing to plan to offer some great opportunities to get our chapter members together for education, networking and fun.

Enjoy ….

great nation, our states and our cities depend on daily. Without these professionals and the service pro-vide, we/citizens would not enjoy some of the basic needs we often take for granted each and every day would not exist.

Our members/You are comprised from multi-disciplined professionals employed by private industry and government agencies as; appraisers; acquisition agents; attorneys; environmental professionals; engi-neers; surveyors; property managers; relocation assistance agents; and title experts.

3 “Member Spotlight”Diane McLaughlin Chapter 3 Meeting Coordinator How does a dinner of salmon with fresh vegetables and freshly-baked bread sound to you? Sumptuous? Satisfying? Heavenly? Healthy? (if you can resist overdoing the bread… what are we saying, no one can resist homemade bread)

Did we mention good wine, too? This irresistible repast would not be com-plete without, of course.

To Diane McLaughlin, all of the above sound like preparations that are all in a Diane McLaughlin

day’s work. That is, when she’s not working as an agent and relocation specialist for Right of Way Associ-ates.

Ms. McLaughlin is Spotlight Member for this edition of the award-winning Beaver Tales, and she made Bucky himself drool all over his keyboard reading the rundown of what she does in her spare time.Here’s how she put it In her own words, “I love working in the yard and gardening. I love salmon fishing on the ocean with my dad. I enjoy cooking with Douglas, and love wine tasting locally. Oregon is so beautiful! I am a baker and love making bread and cupcakes when I have time...”

Diane’s real work, in the Right of Way field, started with Right of Way Associates in November of 2010, as a project assistant. In 2012, she became licensed as a Oregon broker and was promoted to Agent and

Relocation Specialist.

“ I really enjoy relocation work and am looking forward to gaining experience negotiating,’’ she says. “I also enjoy aspect of property management, both residential and commercial properties.’’

Last October she became the Meeting Coordinator for Chapter 3 of the IRWA and tells us, “I enjoy attending the board meetings and meeting other professionals in the Right of Way field.’’ This is no small task says Board mem-ber, Leslie Finnigan. It takes a really dedicated person to be available each month, send meeting notices, take

Diane and her kids, Avory and Catlin

reservations from members for the luncheon (many who often wait to the last minute,) and be present to check folks in and take their payments. She also handles meeting arrangements at other facilities, like the Christmas Dinner. Her job for the Chapter is often hard to fill - it takes real commitment.

Last October she became the membership coordinator for Chapter 3 of the IRWA and tells us, “I enjoy at-tending the board meetings and meeting other professionals in the Right of Way field.’’

Diane is currently studying for her Washington real estate license and plans on beginning the education re-quirements towards a SRWA designation. As far as education goes, in her pre-Right of Way days, she earned an Associate’s Degree in graphic design.

As to family life, she says, “I have two teenagers that keep me busy. Avory just turned 18 and is almost a black belt in karate. He attends PCC.
