Message From the AMCA President . . .

Each day, I am inspired by the unwavering dedication, boundless expertise, and unparalleled professionalism that each of you brings to our organization and profession. Your commitment is the driving force that propels us forward, year after year, towards new heights and achievements.  As we embark on the journey of crafting a new Strategic Plan for our professional association, I encourage you to dream big and share your visions. Your ideas and inspirations are the seeds that will grow into our future successes. Together, we can shape a path that not only advances our profession but also uplifts the communities we serve.

Take full advantage of the incredible educational and networking opportunities offered by AMCA and IIMC. These are not just opportunities—they are stepping stones to greatness. Remember, success is not a matter of chance; it’s the result of relentless effort, continuous learning, and a passion for excellence. As we strive for personal growth, let us remember that the journey is just as important as the destination and that growth can exponentially fuel service to others.

John F. Kennedy once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Let these words ignite a fire within us as we work tirelessly to serve our communities with honor, integrity, and purpose.

As we move forward, let us embody the wisdom of John C. Maxwell: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” We are the leaders who will light the way for others, inspiring them through our actions, our dedication, and our unwavering commitment to excellence.

I eagerly look forward to the year ahead—a year filled with growth, achievement, and celebration. Together, we will build a strong foundation for the future of our profession and the communities we hold dear.

I am honored to serve alongside the 2024-2025 Executive Board members: Sarah Siep, Vice President; Annie Meredith, Secretary; Terri Roth, Board Director - Small Community; and Ben Lane, Board Director - Large Community. Together, we will lead with vision, courage, and a steadfast commitment to making a difference.
