Greetings, my brothers and sisters. I hope this March edition of the Journal finds you safe. February was a wicked month, with major snow and ice storms plaguing most of the nation.

Investing in the Future

October 1, 2025

Brothers and sisters, I hope this month’s edition of the Journal finds you well. My staff and I have been extremely busy since our National Biennial Conference in Miami Beach. Our focus has been on the new membership database system, Association Anywhere. We went live with the new system and decoupled from Velarium on September 1. The new system has been designed to make membership management easier and more streamlined. It is totally different from our old VUE system.
