Unemployed Benefit Extension
The holidays are behind us and life is now back to more of a
regular, consistent schedule for most of us. As we begin 2007 we need to look
back our successes and our failures. Take pride in the successes and capitalize
on them; while learning and growing from the failures. This philosophy applies
not only to individuals, but to all organizations as well. Each of us has
strengths and weaknesses and we must strive to highlight our strengths while
minimizing the impact of our weaknesses. Often we can improve our performance
in areas of weakness with training or mentoring from those who have strength in
that particular area. In any case, as the year begins we should resolve to be
all that we can be and “make a difference” in ALL that we do.
Our program year continues to be hugely successful. We have
had our challenges, but they have not been beyond our ability in our strengths.
Our January PDM once again had an excellent turnout of close to 40 people. This
is excellent! Thank you for taking your valuable time to join us at our
events. While we always strive to
attract even more members and guests, this level of participation in PDM’s is
well above what most chapters see. Once again all who attended had the
opportunity to hear a very interesting and dynamic presentation given by Greg
Gauthier. There was a lesson for all of us in his talk. We must perceive and
believe in order to succeed. We have to be willing to take chances and not be
afraid of failure. We shouldn’t settle for “good enough” but strive for
excellence.
For February (the 20th) we have another excellent
speaker lined up and another new locations; Nino’s in
February is also traditionally the month where Region 14
holds its Student Case competition in
Not to sound like a broken record (or CD-or bad MP3
download), but we could use some additional talent from the membership on our
Board of Directors. I know that there are many demands on all of us, and that
free time is a precious and scarce commodity; but take it from me, it is truly
a rewarding experience, as well as being fun. Please consider attending the
next meeting on the 6th of February to see what we are all about,
and how your talents could help us grow and prosper.
Don’t forget Valentine
Day on the 14th or our PDM at Nino’s on the 20th. I hope
to see you there.
