As we start a brand new year, I wanted to take a moment to thank you... our members for your support and for being a part of our vision.  Your constant encouragement and feedback kept us on track and moving forward throughout the year.  If our operations in 2012 taught us anything, it was there is a strong desire and need for the services that NABFEME provides.

As we roll our sleeves up in preparation for the job ahead, we know 2013 won’t be much different.  As companies continue to outsource and the demand for professional services increase, there’s no doubt that more women will be looking to insulate their careers and businesses by improving their professional networks.  Building stronger contact lists and power relationships coupled with aggressive collaborations will be the direction for most in the New Year ahead.  And, NABFEME will be here with open arms to welcome and embrace those colleagues.

We will persist in working hard to maintain your trust and your membership.  We will proceed with the type of events, meetings and seminars that you want and those that merit your attention.  Our “open-door” policy remains steadfast for 2013 and we always welcome your questions, comments and concerns.  We look forward to working with you during your career journey in 2013 and of course, in the years to come. 

On behalf of the entire NABFEME management team, we wish you a very happy and prosperous 2013 ... and may it be as abundant for you as we hope it will be for us.

Johnnie Walker

NABFEME President
