Dear NAMIC-Philadelphia Chapter Members & Friends –

As my tenure as your chapter President winds down, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making 2011 one of our most successful, dynamic and growth-filled years ever!

I have been honored to serve as President of NAMIC-Philadelphia for the past two years. Partnering with our chapter leadership team and Advisory Board, together we have:

• Increased membership and the diversity of our chapter members
• Enhanced programming and professional development opportunities for our members
• Engaged more sponsors than ever before in our history, strengthening our bottom line
• Re-launched and branded our website, joined FB and launched our YouTube page

I am so proud of these achievements - and you should be too! When I first became president, I sat down with the leadership team and discussed the vision we had for the chapter. From there we set goals to move us towards our vision. It is amazing to look back and realize that through our efforts and your engagement, we met every goal and then some!

It is with great pride that I announce the 2012 NAMIC-Philadelphia Leadership Team:

• President – Keesha Boyd
• Vice President – Olakunle Ekundare
• Treasurer – Wil Colón
• Secretary – Jinni Kapp

You will hear more from them and about them in the coming months, but for now I can share with you that this bright group of leaders is poised to build on our momentum and lead the chapter to new heights!

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for your many contributions, levels of engagement and support of our chapter and my leadership. This has been an incredible experience that I will carry with me always. I would also like to say a very special thanks to our sponsors, Advisory Board, guest speakers, mentors and everyone who collectively helped make 2011 a year of progress and achievement for NAMIC-Philadelphia.

Have a safe and happy holiday season – and see you at our 2012 events!

Always,

Andrea A. Agnew
