2018 RETA Breeze May- June

THANK YOU SPONSORS RETA National conference 2018

Hello Everyone, My name is John Bento and I am RETA’s new Assistant Education Manager. I have been involved in education for the last 25 years. I was an engineer for the US Navy where I worked on both main propulsion as well as auxiliaries (AC&R, hydraulics, etc.). As I transitioned to civilian life, I became a science educator, teaching both chemistry and physics for several years. Most recently, I taught locomotive repair and electrical troubleshooting for an international certi cation program. To say that I love learning and teaching would be an understatement. My goals at RETA are to maintain and improve our excellent education program to better serve our members. I also hope to involve as many chapters as possible to create new courses or seminars that focus on what challenges members are seeing in the eld. Remember, learning doesn’t stop a er certi cation! Feel free to reach out to me at any time at john@reta.com or 541-497-2955 as I am here for you. I am thrilled to be back in Oregon a er 4 years away. In my spare time I enjoy travel (26 countries so far), all things Science Fiction, and B-movies. I also enjoy the outdoor activities like hiking and shing. meet John Bento, reta’s new Assistant Education Manager
