I am honored and humbled to serve as your 2022 President of the New York Area Chapter of PCMA. As I look toward this coming year, I feel inspired, energized, and hopeful. I am filled with faith in our ability to make a positive difference through the power of bringing people together to improve businesses, associations, and social lives.
As an industry, we now carry many hard-won lessons from having navigated an unprecedented global pandemic. One of the most important lessons was learned through the sudden and prolonged restriction on our ability to see our colleagues, clients, and friends in person. We missed one another. We realized as never before how much we genuinely need to share time face-to-face. We gained a greater appreciation for meaningful and purposeful connection. Central to the idea of purposeful connection is a focus on ensuring members’ well-being and nurturing inclusiveness. As we move forward, we need to take better care of ourselves and one another, with a more thoughtful and intentional approach. NYPCMA has made a commitment to this goal throughout 2022 and beyond.
Whenever we bring people together, a palpable synergy is born, building bonds and friendships that last a lifetime. This year we will help chapter members learn how to be more effective in creating these connections—both in person and through new technologies. We will share what we have learned in the trenches to spur new ideas to facilitate convening.
I encourage you to become immersed in our community and participate in our education, networking, and corporate social responsibility activities by serving on one of our many committees. I know from personal experience that you will get back tenfold what you put in as a member of NYPCMA. If you’d like to talk about ways to enhance your membership experience on the chapter level, please reach out to me anytime via phone or email. I am committed to
ensuring that every member feels heard, understood, and valued.
I am thrilled to have this opportunity to serve you as the 2022 New York Area PCMA Chapter President. Let’s do great things together!
