NEW YEAR, NEW VENTURE

s we begin this new year, I'd like to take a few moments to reflect on the previous year and look ahead to 2022 and beyond.

I like to think that 2021 was a steppingstone for all of us as we made not only ourselves better, but we also found ways to strengthen the NMA. We were also able to go back to hosting our annual events as scheduled and in-person. While we continue to confront numerous obstacles as a result of the global pandemic, you can be certain that the NMA will continue to provide safe and useful means for us to connect and learn from one another.

It's unbelievable that we'll be celebrating our 26th anniversary, but I believe our founding leaders would be proud of the accomplishments we've made as an industry and as an organization. Despite occasional setbacks interspersed among the organization's triumphs over the years, what is most amazing - and what makes the NMA community so special - is the organization's cooperative culture of collaboration and support. During the pandemic, the NMA, its members, business partners, and industry associates collaborated to exchange strategies and technologies to help each other overcome difficulties.

We are excited to look for new ways in which we can better support our members. We thank each of you for your continued support of the NMA. By hearing from you, we become most effective for you. We can’t do it without you! Together, we can help each other grow.

As someone who’s living proof of the big things that can come, I wish to all of our members that 2022 will bring big things to their lives.
