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

Thanks to all of you who made it out on Friday evening and if you didn't make it, you really missed a special evening.  But not to worry because this is only the beginning.  We are regenerated and just getting revved up.  Hope to see you all soon.

To make it easier to connect with NABFEME, we have set up a toll free office line. We are in the process of completing our various extensions and as soon as this work is done, we will alert everyone via email. The Toll Free number is 855-NABFEME or 855-622-3363. We are setting up extensions for Membership, Women Who Jam and for our various market leaders. If a person calls our number and wants to speak to someone in Atlanta, they would press the corresponding extension number and the system will dial what ever number we have set up for Atlanta. If the caller does not know Atlanta's extension, they would simply press the number for our directory to get the appropriate extension. More updates on this feature are coming soon!
