Being involved with the MWDA has been an incredible learning experience and I have definitely reaped the rewards. I have had the opportunity to meet some remarkable people and with that has come relationships that will last a life time. I truly have received more than I have given and I urge all of you to become active members of the Maine Welfare Director’s Association. Much has been accomplished during my term, largely due to the dedication and hard work of the MWDA Executive Board and committee members. As I reflect back, some of those achievements are as follows: we continue to be successful in recruiting new members; the MWDA Newsletter contains a wealth of useful information and gets better each year; we have a new, professional working set of Bylaws; a new Certification Program that has merit and offers training so that all can become certified; we have a new calendar and have scheduled more training that will assist our members in becoming certified as well as bring in revenue; our own website (www.mainewelfaredirectors.org ) and with that comes a huge attempt to correspond via e-mail in order to save money; we also now have an Administrative Guide still a work in progress, but Nancy Sargent, Brenda Harrington and I will put the finishing touches on it soon. Acknowledgments for the many achievements are in order. To my staff, thank you for picking up the slack and the pieces. To all of the veteran welfare directors, thank you for your guidance and wisdom. Mary-Anne Chalila, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Vicky Edgerly, thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and assisting with putting them into practice. A special thank you to Antoinette Mancusi for being my sounding board and for assisting the MWDA with training, yet encouraging us to train ourselves. Cindy Boyd and staff, thank you for your willingness to collaborate on MWDA projects. Joan Kiszely, thank you for motivating me, for pointing me in the right direction and keeping me on track. Nancy Sargent, thank you for always going above and beyond, you are the wind beneath my wing. I thank the Executive Board and committee members for their support and commitment. Mary Reindl, thank you for offering me the opportunity to become involved with the association.
