President's Corner
 
 
Some are happy to see the end of 2017 but optimists will suggest that looking ahead to create happiness is more appropriate. 

After all, if we didn't experience 2017, 2018 could be just the same; and, not just on Groundhog Day.

Happy New Year and may all of your 2018 personal, professional, and societal hopes be realized.

Thank you to our Premier &
 Ehnhanced members
