Turning the Page: Celebrating Stories of Grit, and Growth with Our Amazing Members
So much of our time and attention is spent on being busy, isn’t it? A busy schedule of events, family responsibilities, building our teams, budgeting, professional development, customer service, friends - you name it! Life is always FULL. Fall especially. And, just like that: the year feels like it is coming to a close.
As we turn to the Fall issue, we begin looking ahead at the coming year. As part of that planning and reflection, we decide on a “theme” for the year-ahead, which is debuted in this issue.
Next year is a big milestone for the Association –our 60th anniversary. It is evident that the focus and the reason for our success is the members who have contributed so much to AAA and made us a part of THEIR story.
In this issue, we feature some amazing members and their stories. There is so much to be learned from these professionals. They speak of those who were heroes to them, how hard they worked and what they had to overcome – things like racial bias and a bout of cancer. These are not small things.
These are things that require grit. They require hard work. They require you to try, and then try again.
I hope the stories of these members inspire you as much as they did us.
We are honored to be a part of their story, to give members a reason and place to show up, to start a new path, grow into a career, and develop a powerful network.
We look forward to helping you write the next chapter of your story.
Warm Wishes,
