Hi,
I apologize for the delay in response, as Nicole mentioned, it gets crazy here during finals! I’m so excited to be part of the Lean Six Sigma planning. I got my Lean Green Belt last semester, and it has been a huge help in my classes and co-op process!
I am available the following times:
* Wednesday (12/10) before noon
* Thursday (12/11) 8:00am-11:00am
* Friday and Saturday (11/12 &11/13) 9:00am-5:00pm.
I look forward to meeting with you!

Hi James,
As Brendan mentioned, I will be taking over as President of IISE for Spring 2026. I have been a part of the club since Fall '22 and the Executive Board since Spring '23... needless to say I have heard countless good things about the famous James Swisher!
I would love to hop on a call to discuss the Spring Semester with you and Alex! We will definitely be doing the Six Sigma Green Belt course. I will let @Alexandra Shavitz respond with her availability first, as she is in the middle of finals and I am on co-op.
Looking forward to speaking with you!
Best,
Nicole Resteghini

Brendan,
Thank you so much for the update and for all of your hard work and leadership this semester. You and your team really knocked it out of the park!
I wanted to share some exciting data with you on just how amazing the Northeastern program is; you’re in third place among all universities in IISE certification class attendance over the last five years and closing in on #2!:

@Nicole Resteghini and @Alexandra Shavitz: It is very nice to meet you! I would love to plan a short Teams/Zoom meeting to say hello and start brainstorming for the Spring Semester whenever you have a moment. I’ve attached a short summary of the student chapter training program along with our planning and marketing kit to help get you started. Let me know if you have 20-30 minutes sometime to say hello.
All the best!
-James

Hi James (and Nicole and Alex),
I hope you are doing well. I am reaching out to you to introduce Northeastern IISE's new President - Nicole Resteghini (n.resteghini@northeastern.edu) - and IISE Relations Chair - Alexandra Shavitz (shavitz.a@northeastern.edu). These will be the Northeastern Point of Contacts for Six Sigma/the IISE conference and will be our primary point of contact with IISE National.
I am looking forward to seeing the successful execution of Six Sigma next semester! Alex and Nicole, if you could, please respond with an introduction and also a tentative plan on Six Sigma so we can get the ball rolling for next semester. James, thank you so much for your awesome support this semester; it is a consistently great experience to work with you and the rest of IISE National.
Thank you,
Brendan Wang
