SITE Texas

We are excited to feature Pat McCain, CMP, CITP as part of the SITE Texas Past Presidents series.

Pat served as VP of Finance from 2014, President in 2015, Past President in 2016, and returned to serve as VP of Finance from 2017 to 2020.

Pat spent the majority of her board tenure focused on the chapter’s financial health — securing sponsors for chapter meetings, the SITE Texas Tech Summit, Roadshows, and following up on auction receivables to keep the chapter on solid footing. She also brought in a bonded and insured accountant to audit the chapter’s accounts and ensure funds were handled with full accountability.

SITE Texas is a stronger, more financially sound organization because of the work Pat put in year after year. Thank you for your dedication to our chapter!

We are honored to feature Wayne Wallgren, CIS, CITP as part of the SITE Texas Past Presidents series.

Wayne’s involvement with SITE Texas spans nearly two decades — serving in roles from VP of Marketing to Special Advisor and International Liaison. His presidency in 2012 is a centerpiece of his journey with our chapter.

What stands out most about Wayne’s tenure is his ideas. The SITE Texas Summit (formerly Tech Summit), the Roadshows, the Annual Board Retreat, the Chapter Circle of Honor and Lifetime Achievement Award, and the chapter’s Sustainability certification — part of SITE’s first global graduating class — all trace back to Wayne. Several of these have since been adopted and adapted by other chapters around the world.

Wayne also created and produced the chapter’s first podcast, running for an impressive 99 episodes.

In his own words: “I think I’m most proud of the ideas I had that others made a reality. Everybody gets to take the idea and put their own spin on it. I like that part.”

That kind of lasting influence is something special. Thank you, Wayne, for the creativity and vision you’ve brought to SITE Texas.
