New constituencies seek our expertise and service, while resources continue to be scarce.
I accept this responsibility because of the unique sense of community this association possesses, and the knowledge that issues are addressed and objectives achieved together. Of course the statement continues on to define ways in which the association will pursue that mission and it is imperative that the leadership, through its focus on advocacy and professional development, seek ways to facilitate that for its members. This association is growing at a tremendous pace, a reflection of the globalization of our society.
