I had the pleasure of attending the AMTA National Board of Directors meeting last weekend in Chicago. As usual, it was a pleasure to see the other chapter presidents and the national board and have the opportunity to network with others. I was happy to see that AMTA has taken care to reduces expenses to the tune of $1 Million this year. AMTA is also working toward reducing the amount of paper being used and mailed to members. I hate paper so I was very happy to hear that!

Additionally, the new president, Judy Stahl was sworn in and I was pleased to have sushi with her afterward. I enjoyed her message of change and desire to bring improvements to AMTA and I was encouraged by what I heard.

The message I want to communiucate is that the leadership of AMTA working for you. Though things may seem to move slowly at times, your national board does care very much about the needs of the membership. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to post them here.
