Tracy's Tidbits
A note from Chapter President, Tracy Miller, Global Roofing Group (f.k.a Roofing Southwest)

Hello NAWIC Members and Friends,

Another year has passed! This is, quite honestly, hard to believe that I am about to transition to Immediate Past President. This year has passed so quickly! It’s been exciting, with a lot of hard work and brow sweat. However, I have truly enjoyed my time serving this chapter and feel very fortunate to have had this opportunity. It was an honor and a privilege to get to work with all of you as president. I am humbled to have been so fortunate. Thank you to all the NAWIC members, sponsors, and community partners that have supported The NAWIC Tucson Chapter #122 during this term.

All year, I have been saying “Tough Times Do Not Last, Tough People Do.” NAWIC Tucson Chapter #122 has been just that, “Tough.” In this chaotic time of COVID, our chapter continued to grow by 11 new members this past year. Bringing our total membership to 37! And we are still growing! The Tucson Chapter is the most amazing group of ladies.

I want to encourage each NAWIC member to volunteer in any way that they can. NAWIC can only be as great as its membership’s willingness to get involved. We have many great and exciting events plan for 2021 - 2022.

While there is still much to do, the new newly elected board members are excitedly waiting to work with the ongoing leadership of the senior board members.

Honored and Humbled To Have Been Your President,
Tracy D. Miller
President 2020-2021
