2024 Winter President's Message

I am excited to be bringing my fellow members my closing thoughts on my 2024 HRACRE Presidency!

I am very pleased to say we have had another exceptional year across the organization. My goal was to leave office with HRACRE better than I found it, and while the measurable amount may be subjective, I believe I can consider that goal accomplished. As I have told the Board of Directors, the successes of 2024 may be attributed to my position as President, but I really must redirect any credit to the exceptional work of the Board and especially the committees. I feel my most important job throughout the year was to do my best not to get in their way, and perhaps when asked, provide some measured amount of guidance and input. We as members truly reap substantial rewards from the work of those who dedicate their time to make HRACRE great.

As we prepare to enter 2025, I will once again encourage all of you to get involved in a committee if you are not already doing so. You will get more than you give, I can assure you. With that, I gladly welcome Kelli Fox to the position of President of HRACRE for 2025, and I look forward to continuing to see you all at one of our future events.
