Greetings!
Well…
that’s
over with!
2017, that is. We’re down to the final days of this year and, like everyone else, I will take this opportunity to reflect on what’s transpired.
First and foremost, I want to thank the
2016
Board of Directors for taking a leap of faith by asking me to become the new Executive Director of GCPPA. I appreciate their recognizing that my thirty-plus years of promotional products industry experience more than made up for my complete lack of experience as an Executive Director.
The
2017
Board and I overcame many challenges together, and I thank them for their support throughout the year. We accomplished so much, and I’m proud of this team. Here’s an example: GCPPA went over two years without a single bylaw revision. In 2017, there were
three
such adjustments…indicative of this Board’s commitment to the association’s ongoing improvement.
You’ll be hearing/reading/seeing many more improvements along the way. The
2018
Board is an ambitious lot, and I’m eager to work with all of them. In order to do so efficiently, I again thank my support team, led by my Trophy Wife Sonia, for all they have done to assist in the transition.
Buckle up, kids…it’s just starting.
