Dear Chapter Members,

As we reflect on the achievements of 2024, I am reminded of the incredible impact your participation and support have on the success of our Chapter’s mission. Your involvement—whether by engaging your colleagues, encouraging them to join as members, or promoting our Chapter to your suppliers—is instrumental in advancing our goals. These efforts directly contribute to our annual fundraising initiatives, which help fund our scholarship program, UPPCC certification, and the many professional and educational development opportunities available to members.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce several new opportunities to get involved and make a difference:

• Volunteer Opportunities: We’re seeking enthusiastic members to join our committees, assist with event planning, and help drive our initiatives forward. Volunteering is a great way to build connections, develop skills, and support our Chapter’s mission.
• Team Building Events: In the coming months, we will host team-building activities designed to foster collaboration, networking, and camaraderie among members. Stay tuned for details!
• Expanded Conference Options: To help members make the most of their scholarship points, we added additional conferences to our scholarship application. This expansion will provide more opportunities for professional growth and engagement.

We urge you to take full advantage of everything the Chapter offers and get involved. With your support, we can continue to provide valuable resources and opportunities for our community. Together, we can achieve even greater success.

I am honored and excited to serve as your incoming President in 2025 and look forward to working closely with all of you to continue advancing our mission.

Thank you for your dedication to our mission and for being an essential part of our Chapter.

Warm regards,

Damaris Cordova, NIGP-CPP, CPPB, DCCM

2025 TBAC President
