WJA San Diego


President's Message: December 2011
Dana Meyer-Maxwell


"Until Then"

Well, it's December, the last few weeks of my service as WJA San Diego Chapter President. What an amazing association. What an amazing group of women. And what an amazing two years. Thank you for your engagement, your service, and your friendship.

In 2010 I told you to become involved in the association and 'look out for number one.' By that I meant, find what you're most interested in, find ways that the association can serve your needs, because ultimately that service will benefit the chapter as a whole.

Now, as this year and my presidency come to an end, I offer this: look out for number one, look out for each other, and then look out world!

I'm awful at saying goodbye, so I won't. I'll see you at the holiday party, I'll see you at board meetings, I'll see at industry events. So, until then.

-- D.
