A note from Chapter President, Susan Stein Kregar, CAE, CNAP Desert Lotus Group

Hello NAWIC Members and Friends,

Despite the 80+ degree temperatures, Thanksgiving and the gift-giving season have arrived. I am not sure where the time went. Feels like we just went bowling, but that was in August! Now we are gearing up for our Gaslight Christmas event. This year has been unprecedentedly busy for construction. You don't need me to tell you why. I can only say that this past September and October ranks among the busiest months of my career.

A huge THANK YOU to Florence Bramlett, Tami McCarthy, and Karen Ellis for their amazing work on the Chapter Forum our chapter hosted at the end of last month. See photos below. It was a terrific event and well worth my time. I highly encourage you to consider attending the Spring conference that will be held April 28 - May 1, 2022 in Irvine, CA. Click Here for Details.

Your board and committee members are planning a fantastic 2022 filled with networking, education, mentoring, and fun events and resources. If there is something you want our chapter to offer or you want to have a hand in planning activities, please reach out to me. Our board meetings are open to members. Before you know it, we will be seeking the slate for the 2022-23 board. So, if you are considering stepping up your participation in NAWIC, attend a board meeting to get a feel for what goes on behind the scenes.

In the meantime, put on your stretchy pants and oversized shirt, keep the antacids handy, and enjoy the food-filled holidays.

I wish each of you a beautiful and peaceful Hanukkah and Christmas season.

In Gratitude,
Susan Stein Kregar
President 2021-2022
