Installation of New Member - Steve Nettles
This Friday we will be installing another new member, Steve Nettles. Steve grew up in northwestern Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois earning his BS and MS in Psychology, and obtained his EdD in Educational Psychology at Rutgers. He worked the first 6 years of his career at the State of Illinois and then the next two years in the Philadelphia regional office for the federal government doing personnel selection and research activities. For the next few years he worked for ETS and ASI before returning to the Midwest to take a job at Applied Measurement Professionals in Olathe. AMP helps state governments and credentialing organizations develop and administer their licensing/certification examinations programs. After a 30 year stint at AMP he retired at the end of 2015.
Steve, welcome to Lenexa Rotary! We look forward to working with you!
