Happy New Year, NSA-Virginia!

This is the time of year for setting goals and resolutions, and your Board has been hard at work doing the same. We are committed to fostering individual relationships and networking opportunities; to maintaining a fiscally sound organization; and to providing you with the highest quality experience at  each monthly workshop.

The first way we're doing this is by resuming the third Friday schedule. The last few months were out of  sync, but if you check the event section of the website, the dates and locations are in place.

The next crucial piece is ensuring a quality program. This includes the venue, and the Board continues  to seek the best site in Richmond, Williamsburg, and Norfolk to hold meetings. The Richmond Airport  Doubletree is a hands-down winner, and as we search the other cities, please be patient and check the address before you hit the road.

The other piece of quality programming is the presenter. And the next few months are "off-the chain" as my friend Shirley T. Burke would say. January's Scott Halford gets rave reviews on his chapter  presentations, and February's Vernice Armour has been on Oprah if that
tells you anything.  I encourage  you to check the National website where you can find links to each speaker's sample videos.  http://bureau.espeakers.com/nsas/search.php

Meanwhile, we can't wait to see you at our January meeting!
