Welcome to the Midwest Region

Activate Your 2025 with LMA Midwest!

As we look ahead to an exciting new year, I am honored to step into the role of Midwest Region President. 2024 was truly incredible—marked by numerous networking opportunities, impactful programming, and amazing engagement from our members.

This year, let’s build on that momentum and activate everything we gain—knowledge, connections, and opportunities. Let’s turn insights into action, relationships into collaboration, and ideas into impact. Together, we can do more than grow; we can thrive, achieve, and lead with purpose.

Looking to the year ahead, we have several exciting initiatives designed to help you activate your potential:

  • Midwest Conference 2025: This fall, we’re bringing the Midwest Conference to Chicago! It will be a can’t-miss opportunity to connect, learn, and share best practices in one of the region’s most dynamic cities.
  • Business Development Learning Lab: In 2025, we’re introducing an enhanced Learning Lab experience designed to sharpen your skills and confidence in driving business development. This immersive program will provide actionable insights and a safe space to learn and grow alongside talented professionals.
  • Local Networking Opportunities: You told us how much you value local connections, and we listened! We’ll continue offering coffee chats, programming, lunches, and happy hours to help you build relationships and exchange ideas right where you are.
  • Learning Opportunities: Webinars and in-person programs remain at the core of our commitment to your development. Look for content tailored to your role and career growth throughout the year.

These are just a few highlights of what’s to come. I challenge you to activate your LMA Midwest experience this year. Join us for webinars, attend local events, participate in SIG discussions, and consider volunteering your time and talents. Every action you take strengthens our community and multiplies its impact.

Here’s to another year of meaningful connections, shared accomplishments, and activated success. Let’s make 2025 a year to remember!
