Hello Chapter Members and Future Members,

Thank you to each and every one of you that has assisted in each of our successful events so far this year. I’m grateful for all of our volunteers serving as committee members, who create our calendar of amazing events and for everyone who attends, listens, networks, and provides feedback. Along with our incredible staff that ensures everything is taken care of. It’s been wonderful to see so many familiar faces and new faces at our educational events, networking events and our Delmarva Golf Outing. I’m excited for what the summer has instore for us, with more education opportunities, our second golf outing of the year, the crab feast and our very first joint chapter event with the Washington Chapter at Loan Oak Brewery. Then, before we realize, fall will be here along with our Expo. Who’s excited for Maryland Live!? I’m ecstatic that the Board, Committees and members have been just as excited as I am about moving forward with “No Limits” thinking, as we continue to finalize plans for this year and look into the future. Our Chapter continues to grow and develop; new events and opportunities are on our horizon!

I hope you are able to attend a manager huddle, the golf outing, the crab feast, or the joint chapter event. From personal experience, this chapter provides opportunities that we can all benefit from, whether you’re a Board Member, Community Manager, Business Parter or just YOU. I urge all 1200 of you to try something different. Attend an event, if you haven’t. Join a committee (and don’t say “I don’t have time”, find the time). Or start small and reach out to someone here that you haven’t had the chance to connect with. Like Pele said, “love what you are doing” and persevere and sacrifice to achieve success.

Yours truly,

Rebecca Clemson-Petrik
