If you’re reading this, thank you. (Yes, of course you’re reading this; we know that.) One of the biggest areas for improvement we hear about from members is communication. Despite, you know, communicating? So, that’s not you, and you have a leg up on “those people.”
Maybe two legs, because you’ll no doubt be familiar with all the member services, public outreach, and opportunities for networking that our local section offers. Here’s a thought: how ’bout getting involved yourself? You would be amazed how welcome we can make you feel if you decide you’d like to contribute!
