As 2022 begins, we continue to be mindful of the health and safety of our members. The regular chapter meetings will remain virtual and our kick-off event has been scheduled for March 2^nd, so be on the look out for more information. Remember to save the date for the golf outing on June 8^th at Cherry Creek Golf Club. Our industry has been fortunate over the last couple of years and, in addition to our normal events, we will be hosting community service opportunities for our members to strengthen bonds in our communities.

Being a member of the MMLA is rewarding on many levels from professional development to networking to giving back. I encourage you all to participate in and volunteer for the many opportunities the MMLA provides. Contact me if you would like to help any of these committees.

I’m honored to serve as your 2022 SE Chapter President. I look forward to seeing you at our events!
