January 2012

President's Comments
by Steve Weitekamp

 

 

Happy New Year! 2012 is upon us, and now is the time to prepare for the year ahead.

 

CMSA continues to focus on the work required to serve our members and to be a valued resource. In the first days of January, your Association emailed the principal contact of each member company a CMSA Membership Certificate in a PDF format. Along with the certificate was information and links to our upcoming Independent Contractors Seminars, February 21st and 23rd, as well as our 94th Annual CMSA Convention on April 10-15 in Sparks, NV. Your Board was enthusiastic about the opportunity to provide members with an annual membership certificate in an electronic format. We hope that you will print copies for your office and utilize this document as a physical and/or electronic attachment to bids or any opportunities to promote your membership in our professional Association to your potential new and existing customers and the moving public. If you have not seen a copy of your company’s membership certificate, and want to make it a part of your sales process, please check with your office or call CMSA to see who in your company received the email.

 

We are bombarded by change and our business success can be enhanced by our ability to adapt and learn new things. Social media and marketing continue to grow and play an ever more prominent role in our culture. Over the holidays, I dedicated time to the Twitter social media platform. I wanted to learn about the culture of Twitter and the how’s and when’s of the tweeting community. It is a learning process, but I see value in the service and have connected with valuable resources. If you already have an account, follow me @ cmsa1 and, if you haven’t visited the site, it is definitely worth a look.

 

One of the more difficult aspects of the passing of time, more frequently considered with the ending of one year and the beginning of another, is the reality that people about whom we care and rely on, pass in and out of our lives regardless of our desires or plans. CMSA staffer Mary Scott decided she would end her work career in the final days of 2011 and begin a new phase of her life, centered on family and friends in the new year. Over the past two years, Mary was successful in ensuring that CMSA’s financial records and receivables were professionally managed, and she leaves us in a good position. It is clear to all that Mary was a valued member of our team, and will be missed. CMSA and I are grateful to Mary for her service and care for the Association and its members.
