This is a very exciting time to be a member of PAMA because it’s our chapter’s 80^th anniversary year. We’ve got terrific history to celebrate and, thanks to your board’s hard work, a lot to enjoy in the coming months.

I am focused on accomplishing three main goals in the coming year:

• Helping YOU to win a promotion.

• Helping YOU to land (and/or keep) a new job.
• Helping YOU to feel secure and well-connected as a marketer at the top of your game.

While these may be challenging economic times, professional marketers lead the parade of new hires in, and consulting agreements with, organizations — across the region. This is the good news. The bad news is that demands on marketers today are mounting while deadlines for results are shorter. Marketers with the ability to create, manage, and measure dynamic solutions, however, will thrive.

PAMA is dedicated to ensuring that our chapter thrives for another 80 years by ensuring that membership delivers real value. Our membership survey gave us great insight as to our members’ needs and interests. The responses we received will help us to determine the topics, locations, and timing of our forthcoming events, as well as which services we invest in on your behalf. Take the time to get involved and attend some events — PAMA membership will be one of the wisest investments of your career.

I look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon!
