The Time For You to Rise Up is Now!

By: Ms. Gina Roldan, Bemus Landscape, Inc., 2022 CAI-GRIE Chapter President

It’s time to rise! Rise up to your potential! Rise up past your limitations!

As we enter into 2022 and move past some incredible challenges, I cannot help but feel optimistic and excited. If the past has shown us anything, I hope resilience echoes in your head. We have been hit, pushed down, asked to pile more things on our plates and look... here we are; STILL moving forward, STILL showing up, STILL choosing to “Rise Up!”

Difficulty calls us to rise up. And in that rising, we learn what we are capable of. —Unknown

CAI-GRIE is the Chapter that people are looking at. We are the Chapter that continued to host (# of) events, because it was important for our Members. We are also the Chapter that embraces new opportunities and challenges. In that spirit, let’s get our membership numbers up to 750 in 2022, so that we can transition to an extra large chapter (I mean we are already doing the work as one)!

I am genuinely looking forward to 2022. I am looking forward to a yea –r filled with the most educated, professional, accepting, fun loving group of people that I get to call a “TEAM”. Together, we are unstoppable.

Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now. — "That Would Be Enough", From the musical ‘Hamilton’

Ms. Gina Roldan works for Bemus Landscape, Inc. and has been involved with the Chapter for many years. She served on the 2021 CAI-GRIE Boardof directors as the President-Elect.
