President's Corner

December Wishes!

 

Dear Members,


As we close out another eventful year, I want to extend my warmest wishes to each of you. December is a special month—a time filled with festive cheer, joyful gatherings, and the chance to pause and appreciate the many blessings in our lives. I hope you can enjoy meaningful moments with family, friends, and colleagues as we celebrate the holiday season.


This is also a wonderful time to reflect on our achievements as a society. Our membership has grown significantly, and excitement is building for the future of our organization. The added value-rich content we introduced this year has been a strong benefit to members, further strengthening engagement and professional development across our community.


While December is known for giving and celebration, it also offers an opportunity to share our good fortune with those who may be facing difficult times. I encourage each of you to consider supporting a charitable organization, participating in a community drive, or lending a helping hand to someone in need. Small acts of kindness can create a tremendous impact.


As you exchange gifts and enjoy holiday traditions, I hope you also take time for rest and renewal. The year ahead promises new opportunities, and entering it with energy, optimism, and gratitude will set us up for success.


Thank you for your dedication to our society and for the work you do every day within our profession. May this holiday season bring you laughter, peace, and the joy of shared moments.


Wishing you a wonderful December and a happy New Year!

 

Regards,


Jim Schildt

President
