President’s Message, June 2010

Greetings CMSA DETROIT members:

I have just returned from the 20th anniversary “Dreaming and Doing” CMSA convention in Orlando, Florida. Yes, it was hot, hot, and hot but it was also a great meeting - especially to network with members from all over the country!

Currently, I am proud to announce CMSA Detroit has 442 members!  Our chapter is the largest single-city membership in the nation! New England and four other states are combined for a total of 750 members, but as a single city, no one is bigger, of course, I also think BETTER, too!

The board members who attended will each report on one of their favorite topics from the convention during our November meeting. I hope to also announce a new social initiative which I will be presenting to the board for final approval. CMSA Detroit will also be assisting a new club formation in Petoskey in addition to collaborating with the Marquette Club. The Grand Rapids Club is doing well, and in talking with all of the clubs, it is our hope to hold a yearly, one-day conference alternating cities starting in 2011.

Please remember to submit your entries for the CMSA Detroit member of the year. This special award will be presented at the November meeting. The winner will receive along with the award paid 2011 dues and convention fee for San Antonio 2011 courtesy of CMSA.

Also now available is our first annual scholarship applications for both awards and scholarship on the CMSA Detroit website at www.cmsadetroit.org.

Our next CMSA Detroit meeting is September 14th will be our 2nd Annual Vendor-Palooza with 60 vendors and over 10 CCU’s available! This is a great event for both networking and meeting vendors who are incredibly supportive of our club! I hope to see most of our 442 members!

It is with great sadness we have to say goodbye already to our newly elected treasurer, Susan Jurchartz as she and her husband are moving to Florida in June. The board has elected a new treasurer, Rebecca Long, who I was able to spend time with at the convention. I believe she will be a great asset to our board. Again, our deepest thanks go out to Susan for all her efforts for CMSA Detroit.

Sadly, I also need to report we lost Mary Foust, a long-time member of our club who passed away in June. She had surgery and a subsequent infection she couldn’t beat. She was a wonderful case manager and a good person who will be terribly missed.

I am looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting, check the website for time and location.

Glad to be back in Michigan.

Your proud President,
Jackie Wajer
President CMSA Detroit 2010-2012
