Hello VRARA Members and the VR AR community,
My name is Everett Wallace. After four years of building our VRARA SF Chapter, Mike Boland has passed the torch as SF Chapter President to me.
"January 1st marked the four-year anniversary of VRARA SF," writes Mike. "During that time, it went from scrappy new networking and meetup group, and one of the very first Chapters, to a regional powerhouse -- analogous to VRARA itself. At this milestone, it's time to pass the torch in the spirit of new blood and growth inflections. After spending time with Everett Wallace, it's clear that he's the perfect candidate for that. Meanwhile, I'm not going anywhere and will stick around as a participant, chapter advisor and VRARA's research subscription steward. I can't wait to see what's to come in this new chapter of VRARA SF.”
I’ll be very brief.
First, thanks tremendously to Mike for all he has done. It’s truly considerable. Thanks also to everyone who has contributed to our Chapter. I don’t know many of you yet, but I do hope to get to know everyone soon.
Second, I’ll share a nutshell of my aspirations for my tenure as your new President.
VRARA SF has a great start as a global leader of our industry, but the sky’s the limit!
We all know SF is one of the most vibrant ecosystems of talent and resources in our industry. We all know we’re going to shake the world with what we are accomplishing. Making the SF Chapter an epicenter of that coming sea-change will bring rewards to its members that are much greater than the sum of our parts. Let’s make the Chapter and its members invaluable to our industry, both locally and globally.
This is my aspiration for my tenure as your Chapter President. I hope you will join me?
To get started, in Q1’20 I have a single question for every member. How can VRARA SF better serve you? Your answers will underscore the Chapter’s action plan, which will be solely focused on how to achieve the goal above and which I hope to start implementing in the coming months.
Expect to hear from me, but please reach out with questions and ideas for the Chapter.
Looking forward to meeting every member.
Everett
