Presidents Message

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
~Winston Churchill

As I begin my last quarter as your Chapter President, I'd like to take a minute to reflect on the year we've had so far and thank a few people.  We'll be busy the next few months so I'm taking the time now to say this.  I am honored to have served as your President the past 9 months and have learned so much during my years with IFMA and on the Board.  It's truly a unique experience. I'm better for the years I've been involved and what I've learned from so many inspiring people.  I'd like to first thank my husband Drew who has supported me being President even when we were buying our house and having our daughter.  I can't say it was easy trying to juggle everything, but I know it was easier with his love and support.

I'd also like to say Congratulations to the 2015-2016 Board of Officers who were confirmed by the Chapter a few weeks ago!  Randy, Dianne, Carol and Hayden will be a great team to lead us in the coming year!  I look forward to working with you all and a special thanks to Neville for his guidance over the past year!  Thank you to Tamara and Candi for their support of our Chapter as well.  I have been very fortunate to have a great team to work with this year and in years past, and while I won't miss being President I sure have enjoyed it!  Looking forward to finishing out strong this spring!

Thank you!
Laura Shaw - Jones Lang LaSalle
