Congratulations to Brian and Nadira on being elected as Sigma Zeta President and Sigma Zeta Treasurer respectively! They sent the following messages to our membership:
“Hi, my name is Brian, and I am excited to be your chapter President for the 2020/2021 school year. I’m currently working towards my degree in Aerospace Engineering, and will start up at OSU in the Fall term of 2021. I wish you all well during these times, and hope that your classes this term are going well. I look forward to seeing you all next fall and working with you to make your PTK/school experience as good as possible.”
— Brian
“My role here as a treasurer is to assist the PTK advisors to open and maintain a financial account for the chapter, keep a set of financial performances/records that shall be audited and notarized at the end of each officer term, present the chapter’s financial records at business meetings and file all financial records in the chapter’s official files at the end of each term.
I am very thankful for the position and would like to help PTK grow in LCC. This will also help me to learn and utilize the skills of a treasurer as an experience and investment in the future. I am aware that this is one of the higher positions in PTK. Thus, I will try my best to work hard and fulfill my responsibility for PTK.”
— Nadira
We are fortunate to have two such amazing officers leading our chapter next year!
