National Presidents Charge
Vicki Henrickson, Blasdel Cleaver Schwalbe, National NAMA President
Welcome to “Leading the Way,” the resource book for NAMA chapter leaders. Thank you for your willingness to serve NAMA as a chapter leader this year. As I hope you realize, NAMA is a great organization because it has GREAT leaders.
The NAMA executive committee’s 2011 focus is on getting people connected and involved. In addition, we will continue developing a strategic plan to guide NAMA into the future.
NAMA, as an organization, represents over 3,000 communicators, which is the largest concentration of agricultural marketers and communicators in the United States. As chapter leaders, you have an excellent opportunity to build your chapter into one that gets people both involved and connected. I encourage you to take advantage of connecting with both your new and current members and inviting them to participate.
This resource was developed to help you build your chapter and to make your job as a chapter leader easier. Please become familiar with the contents and refer to it often. Become familiar with
www.nama.org, also. There are many resources under the “Leaders” and “Members” sections. Look at the reports each month to see how your membership is moving. There are also ideas for chapter programming.
Please don’t hesitate to contact the NAMA office at (913) 491-6500.
Once again, thank you for your service to NAMA as a chapter leader. We appreciate your interest and commitment to make NAMA better for every member.
Sincerely,
Vicki Henrickson
Blasdel Cleaver Schwalbe
2011 National NAMA President
