Dear Fellow Members of Kansas City NACE,

I hope this letter finds you well.

As I look into the future, I also have begun reminiscing about the past year of 2011 our local Kansas City NACE Chapter. We have had success in gaining new members, much interest from many local businesses; have had many diverse speakers and a great time networking and getting to know one another. Although I do enjoy pointing out our positive achievements this year, I also reflect on how I can assist our chapter to become what each and every member hopes to gain out of it.  

We, as the board of directors, have enjoyed the opportunity to serve and have always focused on conveying the value of membership by providing our chapter and your business with opportunities to grow.

We are humbled by those that placed faith in us and our ability to lead. But, the success and future of our chapter relies heavily on commitment and participation from all of us.

Thank you so much for your time and efforts this year. I look forward to seeing everyone.

Christina Cook
