President's Message

Dear Members,

As March arrives, we find ourselves reflecting on the resilience and adaptability that define our community, especially  after the recent snowstorms that swept through Connecticut. I hope you and your families are safe and well. These events remind us of the importance of supporting one another, both professionally and personally.

Despite the challenges, our chapter continues to thrive. We have exciting events planned this spring, including  professional development sessions and networking opportunities. I encourage you to stay engaged, share your experiences, and reach out, I would love to hear from our membership.

We also have nominations for board positions that are open so please think about joining the board and getting involved. We seek fresh perspectives and expertise for our diverse board. Feel free to reach out to me or email hartford@IMAChapter.org  to reach our Nominations Chair and learn more.
