Presidents Message: NYARM IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE
P. Leonard Jones

Professionals in our industry join trade organizations for many reasons. Whatever your reason is, we are confident that NYARM can help, especially if your need is to network.

As with all professionals, NYARM managers, suppliers and contractors know that it is important to have a source for information. Networking is a primary way of accessing extensive knowledge. It keeps you up to date on what's happening in our industry. It affords you an opportunity to participate in the exchange of ideas it is an invaluable resource that can complete projects and bring fruition to concepts.

If you have ever felt isolated while tending to the details of managing or marketing, you know the value of networking. If you have ever found yourself wondering how the latest change in a law or regulation will affect you or if you have ever been pressured by deadlines, you can appreciate your professional association as a resource. If you ever desired to advance in this industry, the ability to meet and talk with other professionals is invaluable.

NYARM, as a professional association, offers its members an extensive, reliable network and more. It is hard to find a better source for information than the combination of our monthly membership meetings, the NYARM newspaper and our educational program. We also offer seminars and special events.

On Wednesday, June 13th we will host a very special celebration of our 43rd anniversary. This affair will take place at the Palm House at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in Prospect Heights. A buffet dinner, a wine tasting event, a silent auction of fabulous wines, musical entertainment and all of our friends will make this a fabulous evening. You won't want to miss this event.

We look forward to seeing you at monthly meetings, seminars, special events and the holiday dinner dance. You can access the dates and times of any NYARM activity on the world wide web at nyarm.org or by calling Executive Director Donna Klein at 800-244-NYARM (6927).
