Our March meeting is this year’s Membership Meeting.  This is the perfect time to reflect on what membership in IAAP and the Tulsa Chapter means to each of us.

Having only been a member of the Tulsa Chapter for three years, membership might have a slightly different significance to me than it does for those of you who have been members for a long time.  I’ve had the opportunity to see the depth of some of the friendships that have been forged through years of involvement in IAAP, both within the Tulsa Chapter and in the larger IAAP community.  And although those special relationships may be the glue that has kept you connected to the group through the years, I would imagine that most of you were initially drawn to IAAP for the same reason I was: a quest for personal excellence.

Attendance at IAAP meetings provides us with regular training and educational opportunities to be better at our jobs and sometimes to be better connected with our community.  Chapter meetings give me a monthly shot of encouragement to be more focused in my work responsibilities and to continue to work toward being all that I can be.  In our ever-changing profession, there are always new skills to be learned and mastered, giving us lots of reasons to be life-long learners.

Take a few minutes to reflect on what IAAP has meant to you.  Then find someone who would benefit by becoming a member of the Tulsa Chapter in the same way that you have and invite him or her to our March meeting.  What a wonderful way to encourage someone else on their own personal quest for excellence.

Hope to see you March 4^th!
