Greetings,
Journal Readers.
As I
approach the end of my year as the chapter
president of the Triangle American Marketing Association,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the chapter's
board and committee members for volunteering their time
and energy to help propel our chapter to "the
next level."
Looking
back over the past 24 months, I
credit Louise Cottrell of Firebrand Marketing,
for seeing in me what I could not and giving me the courage
to step out of my comfort zone to succeed her as chapter
president. Given her strong
organizational and leadership skills, as
well as our shared vision for the long-term growth of the
chapter, our year as together as president and president-elect
(2003-2004) proved to be a great partnership. Added
to this great partnership is Becky
Suzik of The Write Company. Becky diligently
worked with us both over the past two years to manage the
day-to-day operations for us, the chapter's members, and
prospective members. Becky's
constant and unwavering dedication and daily support is
highly commendable. One of my favorite quotes
comes from Gail Ostrishko, a Journal
contributor:

It
also takes courage to step out of your comfort zone to realize
your personal and professional goals. It
is because of Louise's and Becky's leadership and support
that I had the courage to step out of that comfort zone
to be who I really am.
Our featured
North Carolinian for June is Dr. Eunice Mosley Dudley,
entrepreneur, philanthropist, educator, mentor,
motivator, ... and the list goes on. Journal
contributor, Theresa Bennett-Wilkes
talks with Dr. Dudley about her work, her students, and
her life.
Until next time, have a great
month!
