Greetings from GNW Region Manager, Sue Lord
Happy New Year! I hope each of you had a wonderful Holiday Season. As much as I love the Holidays, I am always quite ready to get back to “normal”! I get a bit overwhelmed before Christmas and usually feel a sense of relief after I pack the ornaments and decorations away. I hope you have found your “normal,” by now, too.
Do you usually make New Year resolutions? I typically don’t (really!), but I am going to ask you to join me in one this year. I resolve that I will take one little extra step for ARMA this year. Might you do the same? Will you attend one or two more meetings at your chapter than you did last year? Can you volunteer for one more ARMA activity during 2005? Will you write one article for your chapter newsletter between now and June? Can you put your chapter’s seminar on your calendar today and request assistance from your organization now for the registration fee? Will you do one more action than you did in 2004 for your chapter, for ARMA International, or for your profession?
Did you recruit a new ARMA member last year? If not, here is your chance to do one more thing for ARMA in 2005! Did you forget to vote in association elections last January? Well, you have a chance to remedy that this month! (ARMA elections are being held this month through February 16th. If your member info is current, please expect an e-ballot by January 6th. Otherwise, a paper ballot should be mailed to you after that.) Here is your chance to take that one extra little step for ARMA – VOTE!
I wish you and yours a happy and prosperous 2005 and I hope you will join me in the New Year’s resolution for ARMA.
Very truly yours,
Susan Lord
