Wow--It's hard to believe that another year has passed.  This is my 7th year on the board, and the time has been amazing.

With the AGM around the corner, I wish to take this time to thank everyone who has served on the board with me in various capacities over the years.    Serving on the board has had such a huge impact on my personal business.

It has given me a chance to get to know other members much more intimately than the monthly meetings will allow.   Many of these other Board members have gotten to know me, and they either need my services or I need theirs.  

The way my years on the Board has allowed me to forge long-standing business relationships, and many personal friendships, has been a bonus to belonging to a group like ours and is truly priceless.

The Small Business Association is comprised of such a dedicated group of business owners who all are on the same mission--to grow a business efficiently and effectively while maintaining a balance in life to enjoy this amazing place we call home.

While many of the faces of membership have changed over the years I've been involved with the group, the relationships--business and personal-- often continue outside of the monthly meetings.

For any of you who are hoping to find a way to maximize your investment in the SBA--to get out of it way more than you will ever put in--consider joining the Board next year.  For those who are returning to the Board, new ideas are always welcome.

There is no better way to make the SBA what you want it to be than to be on the board where those decisions can be made.

For those who are leaving the Board after years of service, I send a heart-felt THANK YOU.   Your ideas, your friendship, and your commitment to make the SBA such a vital organization for entrepreneurs is so appreciated.

I do hope you will all make it to the fun-filled evening we have planned for the June meeting.  And, remember that you can't win the Free Membership if you are not there to claim your prize.
