As I look outside and see the leaves that were recently green changing colors and floating to the ground I think about how rapidly our economy has changed.

In this unpredictable economy with gas prices rising and falling daily and markets changing hourly, we, the management accountants, are a valuable resource.  From a prosperous era with seemingly unlimited credit and over leveraging to a challenging shrinking economy, we are in a position to be of assistance.  Our specialized financial expertise can help businesses and individuals navigate through these difficult times.

Today, when many employers and individuals have lost confidence in our financial institutions, the mortgage industry and other lenders, we, the management accountants, need to use our financial expertise to ensure their trust in our profession.

Simply, we (our members) care about each other enough to make a difference by mentoring, nurturing and helping those in and out of our profession to be their best.

I appreciate all of your past support and look forward to your future cooperation.  Together we can continue our tradition of excellence.
