IN YOUR WORDS

America Works Best When We Work Together

“I am so thankful to work for associations, knowing together we make an impact every day. I work hand-in-hand with members to understand what they need to be successful and to eliminate barriers. I advocate on their behalf to create outcomes that truly advance their profession – providing continuing education, certifications and training and connecting members to our global and local communities, offering important economic support.”

I highly encourage organizations to engage with The Power of Associations to leverage the resources and research they offer and to collaborate with fellow associations. FMI is proud to be a part of this distinguished community, and we look forward to our continued partnership.”
