September NewsletterGreetings! I hope this message reached you and yours doing well, prosperous and profitable. Since our last correspondence, the board of directors and I have been hard at work. We have made many significant strides, forging new relationships in the best interest of our organization and members. I have a few items to give an update on as well as a few items of interest and opportunity. As always, if I can be of service to you, don’t hesitate to call or email. WELCOME: NEW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD The board of directors are focussed on three things: 1) build the board, 2) build membership, 3) produce a world class PRIDE. Last month, five outstanding individuals were nominated and welcomed to the board.
You can look forward to meeting them at the next AGLCC meeting.
