UFH: Derek Bessette

[Peter Matteson]

Congrats Derek!

I was glad to have the opportunity to meet you and the rest of 1114 at IRI this year.

Just have to ask who submitted the the wedding pic? Is there some one on CD who tries to find these types of pics for UFH?

Congratulations, Derek.
When you receive high praise from Karthik and Beth you must be doing a remarkable job. Your team's success shows your involvement, keep up the good work!

[Bharat Nain]

Congrats Derek. Thanks for all the help at IRI and it was fun working with you guys. Keep up the good work and good luck.

[Tim Delles]

Derek Congrats. You really do deserve this. good luck with everything.

[Mark Garver]

From all of Team 68 congratulations Derek!

You are a great coach for the exact reasons Karthik mentioned. I look forward to working with you in the upcoming year; I just hope that we get the opportunity to be on the same alliance for once...

A very desiring award winner!

Derek is a special guy.

Who can design robots, be a young & cool FIRST mentor, coach a drive team to win multiple regionals, AND sing a duet with arguably the worst vocalist in North America? Well, that would be Derek Bessette.

Way to go Derek! Here's to you.

And the really good news for me is that I have the privilege/benefit of having Derek & his talents here at GM full-time. Derek does an outstanding job in supporting the manufacture of Corvette Blocks and Cranks.

Given that I'm sitting here at my desk doing some compensation planning, I'd say this UFH award is rather timely!

Great job Derek! The cheque is in the mail. (Sorry Karthik, but you're no longer a GM employee so you'll just have to be satisfied with a pat on the back.)

Congrats to another great mentor! Thank you to all mentors! You all change the world.

I have not been on chiefdelphi in the longest time and when I signed on I seen one of my mentors from the previous year.
Congratulations Derek. You have taught me so much and I'm glad that I had the chance to get to know you.
He has been a big inspiration to me and everyone else on 1114.
thanks Derek....
