2022 January President's Message
|
January 27, 2022 Happy New Year! 
Welcome to 2022! I am walking into 2022 excited, optimistic, intentional, fearless, and focused on the future! What about you? I thrive on action words. When I started this journey as president, I presented three words, as our focus for 2021-22: Engage. Empower. Expand. We’ve been busy connecting with members, prospective members, sponsors, partners, and the greater business community to activate our vision. We’ve also been super-focused on delivering relevant, actionable content, facilitated by industry thought leaders and subject matter experts, in our professional development series. We will expand these efforts in 2022, but we need your help to guide us. We want to provide the content, resources and development opportunities that are most relevant to you. Please complete this important survey (see the link below). Special thanks to Comerica Bank for sponsoring this survey. “Taking bold focused action creates explosive results.” -Anonymous What are your words for 2022? How will they guide your actions? Let’s all go forward in 2022 with high energy, focus, passion, and intention. I’m ready for explosive results in 2022…aren’t you?
