He planned and managed all facets of the tank closure program at the Savannah River Site including gaining regulatory approval for emptying four tanks. Prior that assignment, he spent the previous eight years, planning and managing all facets of the Hanford Tank Farm, including operational closure of six tanks, tank farm base operations, start-up and operation of a demonstration vitrification facility, and tank farm characterization. He was responsible for the training and procedures for all of the groups he managed. He has worked with program owners to streamline requirements to ensure safe and efficient execution of the mission. Mark will be presenting an interactive presentation titled “Leadership and Teamwork”. From the President By: CinD Hayes, President WOW!! What a wonderful way to start the New Year with our dynamic speaker Randy Dorn. He gave a great presentation, engaged the audience and added in some humor with a piece from the “Blues Brothers” with our own folks. It was great. Here is a comment from a guest that attended: “Thank you for the opportunity to attend the September MCLDA meeting as a guest of Lori Tyler-Huntley. I had an excellent time! Page 1 I want to commend your chapter for the time and effort that went into making such a quality leadership event. As someone who has organized many events, I know that even the simplest plans require professional, dedicated planning and execution. Your General Membership Meeting showed all of those and made it look effortless. I enjoyed seeing community leadership in action. MCLDA’s training commitment was obvious in their use of fun, trending and professional principles and techniques of leadership, training, presenting, and meeting planning. From your dynamic and inspirational speaker, Randy Dorn, the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction to the excellent dinner, it was a great evening. Who knew that Randy and Emmitt and the rest of the crew could dance so well? From the professional certifications, to the hats, to the tri-tip, to the raffles, and to the posters it was clear. You are invested in yourselves, your careers, your companies, your co-workers and your community. Thanks to Lori and to all of you for all you do.” Nancy J. Rogers We are moving right along with our chapter goals and we will be presenting those at our monthly meetings. We have gotten our FY 14-15 budget approved by the Board of Directors and are moving forward with our new marketing brochure. We will also be unveiling the new NMA logo. I think we should follow suit and do a MCLDA logo contest. What do you think? I hope that you encourage family, friends and co-workers to come and check us out. We have some great things planned this year. Please feel free to contact any officer or board member with ideas and suggestions to make your organization a more useful and enjoyable experience. SEE YOU AT OUR NEXT GENERAL MEETING OCTOBER 8th. This meeting will be held at Stone Ridge and Lana will be doing new member orientation prior to the meeting. September Members of the Month Kay Gonzales and Jamie Perez-Carter were recognized at the MCLDA September meeting for their continued support to the community, volunteering at the ARC of Tri-Cities Summer Camp for kids, “Partners N Pals Horse Day”. Jamie Perez-Carter (left) and Kay Gonzales (not pictured) were presented September Member of the Month awards by MCLDA recognition chair, Brenda Pangborn (right). Partners N Pals is a summer camp for kids ages 7-21 with disabilities in the Tri-Cities. Over 100 children and young adults shared a day of laughter and happiness riding horses. It took more than 100 volunteers to make this event a success. Volunteers assisted the children with carnival games, petting zoo, distribution of safety gear, spotted children riding horses and the clean-up. The day began at 7:30 a.m. and ended at 2:00 p.m. when the last bus of students left the Richland Riders Club. Kay Gonzales and Jamie Perez Carter demonstrated MCLDA spirit of community service in their support to this cherished annual August event. It is great to see our members making a difference in the community, even during our MCLDA summer break. Leading Edge, October 2014 Page 2 MCLDA December Membership Meeting Annual Christmas Program By Jamie Perez-Carter, Assistant to Vice President, Programs & Operations Christmas will be here in 95 days! Which means it is time for us to start planning our annual Christmas program. Christmas is a wonderful time of year to reflect on the year just completed and to exchange gifts with those we love and with others less fortunate than us. Our December monthly meeting will include the usual fun activities, charity auction, live music, great dinner and sharing good times with our fellow members and guests. Volunteers are a big part of planning for the annual Christmas program. It’s your opportunity to contribute to the overall program for the evening. Please join me in planning the annual Christmas program. Your help is sincerely appreciated. Thank you. Professional Development Resources Wanted!

Leading Edge, October 2014 Page 3 Leadership Quote By: Karen McGinnis, Director of HAMMER/Hanford Training with Mission Support Alliance Stay positive and when you get down, quickly pick yourself up. A positive work environment will keep strong mission driven employees and attract strong creative employees for new positions. The best way to stay positive is buddy-up and keep learning and growing. Also, find inspiring leaders. Do your best to set a progressive culture that is mission driven. I find time and time again that most of the staff at all levels want to make a difference and want to contribute to a bigger cause. At HAMMER I have had the pleasure of working with great leaders – Sam Volpentest, who was community driven, including Hanford Union Presidents that are totally focused on their members’ safety and health; and Site Management like Dave Brockman and Keith Klein, who were pro-active in new programs and cared deeply about the workforce. What I would say is look to leaders and keep growing personally and professionally; never think you’ve got it made and know it all.

Speak Through Your Body Language To Command a Room you need to give the instant impression of being at the top of the heap. Body language can do that – but only with the right physical vocabulary. When we nod, smile too easily and keep our hands in our laps, as women have been socialized to do, we convey deference, not dominance. Worried that projecting yourself assertively will earn you a bad rap? Interestingly, power expressed through body language tends not to carry the same negative Leading Edge, October 2014 Page 6 implications for women as power expressed more directly. “Backlash against assertive women is more likely and more extreme when the assertive behavior is verbal” say Larissa Tiedens, professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. TAKE UP SPACE “Expanding body posture is the most reliable way to convey dominance. When sitting, don’t cross your legs, don’t press your legs together, don’t keep your hands in your lap.” Instead, plant your feet on the floor and your arms on the table. (If your legs will be visible, wear pants or a longenough skirt.) MARK YOUR TERRITORY If you’re not dressed to sprawl, expand above the waist: Lean forward in your chair and put paper and a cup of coffee in front of you, says Dee Soder, founder of the CEO Perspective Group, an executive advisory firm. This is also good if you’re short. LOOK BIGGER STANDING To occupy maximum space, keep your hands on your hips or your arms outstretched; stand with one foot forward (the way models pose). No arm crossing, shoulder slumping or spine curling. STOP BEING SUCH AN ACTIVE LISTENER Women often reassure others through their body language. Don’t. Hold your head straight, not tilted to one side, and refrain from smiling frequently or nodding your assent to every comment. EMBRACE THE BIG GESTURE The larger the room, the bigger your gestures should be. Select a few places in a speech to underscore a point. A clenched fist, for example, can convey determination and conviction. Or use a prompting move; if you want listeners to applaud, start clapping yourself. DITCH THE PROPS Lecterns prevent people from connecting with you. Walk the stage, stopping periodically to emphasize your argument/point. GRAB YOUR GROUP’S EYEBALLS If you’re having trouble getting people’s attention at a meeting, start talking and get up for coffee. Or tap your pen. All eyes will be drawn to you. STOP SCANNING THE ROOM You’ll look insecure. If the group is small, make eye contact with each person for three seconds. With a larger audience, divide the room into quadrants and make eye contact with someone toward the front, back, left and right. REHEARSE Work on your pacing, pitch and inflection by reading a newspaper article on video. Play it back and analyze your performance. Leading Edge, October 2014 Page 7 TURN YOUR SHOULDERS WITH YOUR HEAD Adjust your upper body to face the person you’re addressing. Turning your head is less powerful. TIP PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE It’s important when your speaking that you know what your job is in that room. What is your goal? Is it to express the importance of the occasion: Aare you there primarily to honor an awardee? It’s surprising how often speakers don’t think about their jobs, and that can lead to speeches that are way too long. More to follow next month … “Start with a Great Story” Written by CinD Hayes, MCLDA President Original article by Jennifer Braunschweiger & Laura Sinberg, MORE/MARCH 2014 Leading Edge, October 2014 Page 8 Leading Edge, October 2014 Page 9 New Certified Manager Class Gets Underway! By Mary Davenport, VP Professional Development A class of 4 candidates was accepted into the Certified Manager (CM) program and began their months’ long journey toward the goal of becoming Certified Managers. Brenda Pangborn, Barb Hisaw, Rodger Hisaw, and Tony Miskho gathered for their first session on Thursday, August 21, 2014 to begin what will be a long process and result in their being awarded the Certified Manager designation from the Institute of Certified Professional Managers, James Madison University. Each of our students has a special reason for wanting to earn their CM: Brenda Pangborn, a Radiological Control Manager for the Department of Energy has a passion for leadership and management and believes it’s great to accomplish wonderful goals through teamwork. In Brenda’s words... “The skills taught in the CM classes and experienced through doing it in life, result in success as a leader and manager. I took the CM course in 2002, but never took the exam. I am pursuing the CM, because I want to complete what I had started more than 10 years ago. Since then, I have grown more in knowledge of leadership and management principles through both NMA and in Toastmasters, where I was in a district leadership role for 9 years, including being District 9 Governor in 2008-2009. District 9 includes more than 60 toastmasters clubs in Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho and Northeastern Oregon, with about 1000 members. I am looking forward to the next few years in the leadership team of MCLDA. Completing my exams is walking the talk concerning promotion of the benefits of certification.” Tony Miskho is employed as a technical specialist/air permitting lead for Washington River Protection Solutions at the Hanford Site in Richland. Tony has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington, and has worked at Hanford for 25 years. “My employment history has been primarily as an Environmental Professional. I decided to apply for admission to the CM program to help me move into management.” Rodger Hisaw is employed by Bechtel National and is responsible for the day to day operations of the IS&T Service Center. He has an AAS in Computer Science Networking from Columbia Basin College. Rodger tells us… “I successfully ran the Tri City Titans Junior A Hockey Club as the owner and General Manager for ten years. I decided to apply to the Certified Manager program to improve my leadership skills.” Barb Hisaw, MCLDA’s immediate Past President and longtime motorcycle enthusiast tells us... “My current position is with CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company as a Lead Technical Writer/Editor supporting the Procedures’ organization. I decided to apply for admission to the CM program to take advantage of an excellent opportunity to advance my education in the area of Leadership/Management while adding a nationally recognized certification to my resume. I was a bit apprehensive about my eligibility for the CM program since I do not have a college degree. Fortunately, I have taken enough college courses with a leadership connotation to qualify. I’m looking forward to participating in the group discussions to reinforce my understanding of the subject matter as we prepare to take the CM exams.” Leading Edge, October 2014 Page 10 Each of our students had their own reason for gaining their CM certification, my reason was to improve my leadership skills and advance my career. During the 8 years since earning my CM I feel that my leadership and management skills have improved significantly and my career options have improved as well. Are you ready to take the next step like Brenda, Tony, Rodger, & Barb, to move your career and your management skills to the next level? A new class will be forming soon. Don’t miss out!
