Season’s Greetings to all GMC PCMA members!

It was terrific to see many of you at the Holiday Mixer as well as Holiday Showcase.  It is always befitting this time of year for us to assemble, celebrate and finish the year on a delightful note.

This will be my final letter as President of the Greater Midwest Chapter of PCMA.  I wish to express my gratitude to each of you for this memorable and remarkable experience.  We had an extraordinary year and I would like to thank the Board, all Committees and Volunteers for donating their valuable time and literally turning us in the right direction in 2019.  The accomplishments this year have been staggering.  Throughout the last several years, we were finding ourselves in unfavorable financial positions.  We acted swiftly, made numerous changes, pro-rating sponsorships for additional revenue and implementing low planner rates driving attendance.  We changed Management companies to PCMA Global and brought to you, a brand new, highly successful Signature Event.

This team effectively collaborated, making major enhancements while still delivering quality educational sessions, networking events and satisfying all charitable contributions to the PCMA Foundation and Mark Henry Fund.  We are all very proud to find ourselves for the first time in years, in an encouraging financial position poised for even bigger and better things in 2020.

I thank each and every member as well.  You are what makes GMC the greatest Chapter.  Here’s wishing you all my hopes for a joyful holiday season and a very Happy New Year.

Yours in Service,

Douglas J. Dvorak

2019 GMC Chapter President
