’IM’ HONORED TO BE SERVING as your IMA® Chair for the next 12 months. As some of you may know, I’ve spent more than 40 years as a member of this great organization, coming up through the ranks by providing leadership at the council, national, and global levels yet still very much involved with the IMA Long Island (N.Y.) Chapter, my local chapter for many years. Although I’m now in a position to help guide our association, I’m also very much aware that, like all of you, I’m also still just a member—that is, someone who pays annual dues and wants value from that check I write (or button I push in these days of computer renewals). It’s certainly clear to me, as I hope it is to all of you, that IMA delivers on its promise of value—in abundance.
