SMC Chairman Letter
Dear Friends,
Are you ready for 2012? In a market that seems to be stabilizing – one that actually experienced an uptick in the fourth quarter of 2011 – we as members of the Sales and Marketing Council are poised to embark on an exciting journey together this year. That’s why our theme for the year is “Expect Success- 2012”
As we build and rebuild, let’s continue to rely on the expertise of our professional counterparts to push us to meet new challenges individually and collectively. For the Sales and Marketing Council, may the new year be one of growth, with more participation, more valuable educational choices, more networking opportunities – more of the offerings you need to excel where you are.
Your SMC board will focus on several key areas for our members this year:
- Increasing participation and involvement so we can learn from and enjoy each other;
- Preparing our membership to meet industry changes with renewed excitement and excellence;
- Working within our budget to provide valuable programming that meets your needs;
- Serving you, the industry and the greater community;
- Embracing the new – new members, new markets, new ways of doing things.
As your SMC Chairman, I am here both to lead the council and to serve you, our members, by spearheading programs that can propel your career. I invite your participation, your feedback and your open communication so we can provide the services that will be of most benefit to you.
That’s what we’ll do. What about you? What will you accomplish this year? Whatever your specific goals, we hope you will include SMC as a strategic part of your support system and an integral tool to your professional growth this year.
Welcome, 2012. We are ready!
Sincerely,
Carol Flammer, Chairman
Sales and Marketing Council
