President's Message - Jun '25
“Happy New Year” to you and yours. A couple of people have asked me, that after the first couple of days in January should we continue with this salutation? My thought, why would we not want to wish our family, friends, colleagues and well, everyone the best for the time ahead?
Another question that comes at this time of the year, “What is your New Year’s Resolution?” This tradition stems from an idea over 4,000 years old that if we made promises to repay debts and return borrowed items, we would see blessings in the coming year. Are you wondering, Tiffin, where are you going with this?
2024 I asked, and you answered as we leveraged our opportunities to collaborate; for the months ahead I ask for you to be equally energized to participate! As the MBCEA we are in debt to you for your membership investments and look forward to all that we will do together this year, in return.
