Message from the Board
November is the anniversary month of the start of my association management career. 33 years ago I was happily working for a large advertising agency when a classified ad in the New York Times caught my eye. It mentioned “people business,” “meeting planning” and “project management.” I sent my resume to a PO Box under the alphanumeric ARMA. I investigated possible companies it could be and thought, if I’m right about what ARMA stands for, why would I want a job with the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association?
