Dear LMANE,
I’m honored and excited to greet you for the first time as 2024 President of the LMA Northeast region. I owe a great deal to the LMA, professionally and personally, and I embark on this leadership term believing I am in the right place at the right time.
This year unfolds a unique chapter for our members, rich with potential and opportunities to reconnect and strengthen our community. The past years have undeniably transformed the way we interact and engage. Yet, amidst these changes, the essence of our association – connection, learning, and growth – remains steadfast. In 2024, we are reigniting our commitment to these core values, placing a significant emphasis on in-person networking. We aim to foster deeper connections, facilitate meaningful conversations, and create lasting memories.
Our local programming leaders are hard at work developing compelling programs and networking events designed to offer learning opportunities and spaces for joy, laughter, and camaraderie. These events are more than just meetings and receptions; they are gateways to building robust, resilient professional networks and friendships.
Our journey this year is about more than just professional development; it's about rekindling the spark that makes our community special. It's about the spontaneous conversations over coffee breaks, the shared insights during panel discussions, and the collective wisdom of this organization.
I encourage each of you to actively participate, bring your ideas, share your experiences, and, most importantly, be present. Together, we will navigate the challenges and celebrate the triumphs. Your involvement is the heartbeat of our community, and your contributions are invaluable.
Let’s make 2024 a year of reconnection, growth, and joy. I am eager to meet many of you in person and look forward to the vibrant energy we will create together.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
Warm regards,
Robyn Addis
2024 LMA Northeast Region President
