Home Available Programs Links Pictures Newsletters Board of Directors Committees OTEI Information Brochure Presidents Message   It is my pleasure to write about the latest happenings at OTEI. The Board of Directors selected the first group of officers for the OTEI at it's November meeting. I want to thank my fellow directors for placing their trust in me to serve as CEO/President in the coming year. I also want to congratulate Alton Jelks, CFO and Kelli Mathia, Secretary on their selection to serve as my fellow officers. I am looking forward to working together with them and all our supporters in the coming year. As we have worked with the students in the program over the last several years we always try and emphasize one word, OPPORTUNITY. In my mind that's what OTEI is all about. We are there to provide a look at career or life choice opportunities that many of these students may not even be aware exist for them. Like many volunteer organizations much of our work in the coming year will be completed by our newly established committees. With all of your help I am looking forward to great things happening at OTEI in 2007.
