Message from the Chapter President

MNPMA NEEDS YOU!!!

My Fellow MNPMA Members:

Are you ready to work in MNPMA in 2010?????? We are off and running; we need each of you to get on board. So, Property Professionals lets work together for the good of MNPMA.

I realize that this year will be very challenging for the organization as well as its members due to budget cuts and the state of the economy. There is a glimmer of hope; MNPMA will continue to provide outstanding educational opportunities and networking resources, which are all included in your membership.

Remember, "The organization is no greater than we the members make it". I am asking for your suggestions on ways we can improve the organization. Feel free to contact me with your ideas or questions.

I look forward to a rewarding year serving as your President.

Sincerely,

Gale Taylor, President
