ser·en·dip·i·tous
/serndipds/

adjective  1. occurring or discovered by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

I have often used this word to describe being offered my position at PCAR. I had not applied for it, but it was offered to me at the exact right moment and it has been a magnificent (nearly) 9 years!

This concept reappeared in my professional life last month when I was contacted by someone I had not spoken with for several years who again offered me a position that I did not apply for at a time when I was not seeking new employment. After some consideration I decided to accept that opportunity and I will be transitioning to my new role in mid-October. I hope it will lead to work that has been as happy and beneficial as my time at PCAR & NSVRC.

I hope you will join me in supporting PCAR & NSVRC's work long after I leave my employment by making a gift - either in honor of my birthday, or my tenure!
