President's Message

Happy 2012!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a productive, prosperous and prolific New Year that will last all through 2012 and beyond.

I am ready to embrace 2012. However, I do want to have a point of reference going forward, so I looked at 2011 in review and wrote down my large and small accomplishments (giving myself a little pat on the back ☺).

Sincerely,
Maxine M. Goulding
NAWBO-SV – President
