A Time for New Thinking - Michael for SHPE President

Last month I had the privilege to attend the Dallas Fort Worth Chapter's Professional Development Conference. The theme was a set around a "New way of Thinking." As I spoke to the audience at the beginning of the day, I pointed out that there were several times in history when there was a time for new thinking. The French Renaissance movement was one example where new thinking brought about a positive change and enlightenment for all of Europe. The civil rights movement was another time when new thinking progressed our country and a our people in a positive direction that resulted in equal rights for people of all races and made possible the historic election of this past year. Right now you the SHPE member have the opportunity to choose a new way of thinking for the organization by casting your vote for me, Michael Gutierrez.

At every level I have served this organization, I have always strived to push the current way of thinking and have questioned every decision to ensure your leaders are making the best decision for the organization, its members and its stakeholders. Along the way I have met both acceptance and ridicule for my ideas and statements. As your president I will continue to do the same and will challenge the NBOD to do the same. I will always do what is best for the organization and will push for positive, innovative change. I am running for National President of SHPE because I believe that we are a few new ideas from transforming into an organization of twenty thousand members and an income of over 10 million a year. If you desire for SHPE to be the organization leading the way in both technology and Hispanic technical talent, then cast your vote for me, Michael Gutierrez, to be your next National President.
