PROGRAM - - What being an Army Blackhawk Helicopter Pilot Taught Me
Elizabeth McCormick Blackhawk Business Pilot Filmed for the ABC News show "20/20,"
and seen on MSNBC and in the Wall Street
Journal, Elizabeth McCormick has empowered
audiences all over the USA with her action-
packed speaking.
Elizabeth was a Black Hawk Pilot flying missions such as Air Assault/
Rappelling, Command & Control, VIP, and Military intelligence.
In 1999, Elizabeth supported UN peacekeeping operations in
Kosovo as the S-4 Logistics Officer in Charge at the Battalion level and
receiving the Meritorious Service Medal for her excellence in service.
She was retired from the military in 2001 as a Chief Warrant
Officer 2, after a career-ending injury. In 2011, Elizabeth was honored
with the 2011 Congressional Veteran Commendation for her
commitment to duty and community.
Elizabeth is a founding member of the John Maxwell Team of
speakers, coaches and trainers, as well as an award-winning sales
consultant.
A dynamic entertainer, Elizabeth is a sought-after keynote
speaker. She inspires audiences with her experiences and stories from
her years as a Black Hawk Helicopter pilot and turns them into lessons
that you can understand and use.
A No. 1 best-selling author, Elizabeth co-wrote Succeeding in
Spite of Everything and her 3rd book is due out in February. She is
currently writing her 4th book, and has more in development.
Elizabeth lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday season and are
ready for the new year! Did you make any New Year’s reso-
lu%ons this year? Most of us make resolu%ons about spend-
ing more %me with family, working out, losing weight,
changing jobs, going back to school – things like that. But
how about making some ROTARY RESOLUTIONS! Let’s think
about how we can be be�er or more effec%ve Rotarians in 2013. Here are some
ideas of how you can work on your Rotary Resolu%ons. Make an effort to:
* Invite a poten%al member to a luncheon
* Make up a mee%ng at another club in the area to meet new Rotarians and
get new ideas for our club
* A�end a Board Mee%ng
* A�end a Rotary Founda%on Mee%ng
* Support the “Golfing for Grads” tournament
* Become a mentor at the Grapevine Middle School
* Go on a “Computer for Kids” computer/printer installa%on
* Volunteer on a commi�ee
* Volunteer on a designated flag day assignment for a Rotarian not physical-
ly able to fulfill his/her obliga%on
* Volunteer to help with the 4-Way Test contest
* Donate blood and list Rotary as the beneficiary
* Make a dona%on to the Wheelchair Founda%on
* Volunteer to be a “hugger”, “%mer” or general assist at the Special Olym-
pics
* Join the Rotary Wine Fellowship
* Nominate a worthy recipient of the annual “Ken Diehm Community Service
Award”
There are lots of ways you can make this a GREAT year as a more dedicated,
involved and commi�ed Rotarian by choosing one or more “resolu%ons” that
fits your schedule, interests and passion for service. I look forward to working
with each of you as we enter the “home stretch” of our Rotary year. Together
we will make a difference!
Wishing you peace through service this week and throughout the new year!
