February 2019 Letter from the President

Hello all and congratulations on surviving the Polar Vortex! I hope you are all managing the winter months. I’m already looking forward to Spring but unfortunately, I think we still have a ways to go. Moving forward, 2019 promises to be an eventful year for GMC PCMA, starting this evening at the 15th Annual Awards Ceremony.

Tonight, February 7, we will meet at the Bridgeport Art Center to recognize the achievements of the 2018 GMC Award Winners. We hope to see you there! If you have yet to register, you may do so at the door. The event starts at 5:30pm with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by the awards ceremony at 6:30pm and a reception starting at 8:00pm. It is quite apropos for you to support the Chapter and most certainly these hard-working and dedicated award winners. My sincerest congratulations to all recipients.

Next on our agenda is the March Educational Program! Join us at the Blackstone Hotel Chicago on March 11 to hear Lesley Picchietti, PCC, CPC, ELI-MP, Life and Leadership Development Coach from Inspire Bliss Coaching & Consulting, share her insights on communication and how to better engage and inspire others through communication. This exciting day of education begins with registration at 1:00pm and is followed by a networking reception from 4:00-6:00pm. This event is brought to you by Visit Salt Lake and registration is NOW open!

ALL GMC MEMBERS: We are always in need of volunteers. If you would like to get involved in GMC PCMA, please contact Mariam Gunja at [email protected].

Thank you again to all members and especially to the Board and all hard-working Committee Members. The changes and accomplishments we’ve completed in just one month have us off to an incredible, organized, and exciting 2019! More great things are on the horizon, so stay tuned. Your dedication to this Chapter will never go unnoticed. THANK YOU!

Sincerely,
Doug Dvorak
