Afternoon all: I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Now we begin the race towards Christmas and a new year. For me, this time of year has always been a chance to finish projects, clean up loose ends and get ready for the new year. In that spirt, you should know that the Board and I have been diligently finalizing our new Strategic Plan. By participating in the membership survey, your insights gave us a solid foundation to build on. We traditionally develop our strategy in three-year increments, so this plan covers 2023-2026. The last three years have taught us that change must be part of any strategic approach and ours is designed to be nimble and flexible to account for changing market conditions. The Board has made a copy of the final plan available here (Click here) for those that want to review it.

We are hard at work on the programs and projects identified in the plan and will have some exciting things to share at the January Quarterly Luncheon. Don’t forget to participate in “The Big Give” and you can still contribute to the “Holiday Turkey Drive”. For those looking to make yearend RPAC contributions the cutoff date for this year is December 8^th.  I’m excited for the holidays and the year ahead. Stay focused, stay positive and stay safe. RR
