s 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!” CAI-GRIE is the Chapter that people are looking at. We are the Chapter that continued to host events including 18 in-person and 8 virtual events. the mix of in-person and virtual events were held because it was important for our Members and it’s what they wanted. 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 year 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.” It’s time to rise up! Rise up past your limitations! Rise up to your potential!
