On Monday, January 23rd, I was fortunate enough to listen to Vern Dosch, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC). Mr. Dosch is a life long resident of Bismarck-Mandan, where he lives with his wife, Lynne. Vern and Lynne are married with 3 children, and 5 grandchildren.

This inspired me to search the whole field when looking for a job because money can’t buy happiness. Seeing how much he loves his job makes me look forward to the future and everything it holds. I look forward to finding a job that makes me as thrilled and successful as
