President's Message

The National Leadership Conference in Denver was energizing!!  FPA Board Member Ginny Sherrow and I returned from Denver earlier this month with a renewed sense of energy and excitement about the FPA and are very excited for the coming year.

 

FPA Chapter's across the nation met in Denver for 3 days to exchange ideas and best practices...plan on seeing some of these great ideas and programs in our Chapter in 2011!!  Reaching out to potential new members will be a major focus for us in the coming year.  We will need your help to grow our Chapter, so watch for opportunities in the coming months to DO ONE THING and participate in what we have going on!

 

On a separate note, if you haven't visited the National FPA website recently, please take a peek by going to www.fpanet.org.  There are extensive resources for FPA members on the National site, including information on focus groups, practice management tips, blogs, and many others.  If you haven't visited our Chapter's website, please do that as well (www.fpami.com).  Our Communications and Technology Committee has been working hard to make this site as helpful and user-friendly as possible.  Please give us your feedback!

 

Be sure to watch for information coming in early January about the great programs we already have planned for 2011.  I look forward to seeing you all soon at an upcoming event!

 

Remember, DO ONE THING...one good thing leads to another!
