Service
Service can be described in various ways. In the routine of the day’s work, many opportunities arise to help others. Willingness to work for the benefit of those in need, without monetary compensation or without recognition, is the quality we seek in our membership.
Scholarship
Scholarship denotes a commitment to learning. A student is willing to spend hours in reading and study, knowing the lasting benefits of a cultivated mind. We should continue to learn even when formal education has ended, for human education ends only with the end of life.
Character
Character. An often hard to define word; more open to interpretation than not. As humans, we frequently look to our fellow man for help defining who we are and what we are all about. To me, character can not be found within your social circle but can only be found within.
Leadership
Leadership is getting your hands dirty while trying to support another’s idea, putting in the work, crunching the numbers, sacrificing much needed sleep, and thinking about the whys and hows of a problem to provide a more in depth perspective for everyone else’s innovations.
