The last 3 years have been a great learning experience for me.
As my term as a Director comes to an end, I feel both sad and satisfied.
The MMBA has helped me become a better manager and person.
You as members have all been a part of this, by sharing your idea's and stories.
I will remain an active MMBA member and stay involved with all that is going on.
I can not believe that next week is the conference already.
I hope everyone is coming, especially if you have or need new computer software.
There are a few really good choices out there, and some of them will be available at the conference.
Now is the time to talk with other stores that have updated or changed there software systems.
PCI compliance is extremely important as well as the security issues if you're still using Windows XP.
It took me 6 months to make a decision, so I understand why some stores still have outdated computers and software.
Change is not always easy, but necessary.
Speaking of change, the MMBA has made a few changes over this last year as well.
If you have any thoughts or comments about how the MMBA works, please come to our annual meeting at the close of the conference.
This meeting is for you, the members, and it is your chance to ask questions and voice your opinion.
I will continue to be an active MMBA member and hope to serve as your Director again in the near future.
Enjoy Spring, it has finally arrived!!!
Thanks,
Vicki Segerstrom
