May 2,
2013: Twenty-eight Rotarians were
present as Dr. Kevin Singer, Executive Director of the CSIU, spoke about the
CSIU. Chad Cohrs was the host. Other guests present were Rev. Bob Doll (Art
Bowen’s guest) and Gastin Carol (Donna Schuck’s guest). Editor’s note – didn’t get to speak with Donna’s guest to confirm
spelling of his name. Dr. Singer brings multi-state superintendent
experience to his position and he affirmed his long standing commitment to
student learning. The CSIU Board is composed of a representative from the
boards of each of the 17 districts (5 county area) they cover and was the only
IU set up on an entrepreneurial model whereby the districts purchase services
from the IU such as cooperative purchasing, software development, alternative
schools, head start, dropout prevention and therapeutic programs. Dr. Singer
has been a Rotarian in several Clubs and shared some fun and interesting
memories.

Quotation: “You can’t
say yes to everything. When you do say yes, say it quickly. But always take a
half hour to say no, so you can understand the other fellow’s side too.”
