With the start of the New Year, it has become cliché to set resolutions for our health, happiness, career and future success. As a result, some say they do not believe in resolutions for various (and valid) reasons. For others, creating the right resolution (or goal) creates an opportunity for inspiration and motivation. What inspires you in 2016? What are your goals? Who do you need on your team to achieve your goals? How can you be the best version of you in 2016?
 
During our November Board Retreat at the beautiful Salamander Resort and Spa in Middleburg, we spent time reflecting on our 2015 successes as a chapter and looking ahead to our goals for 2016. We are currently in the process of determining our board leadership for the next year, are forecasting events and activities to engage our members, and getting ready to kick off our member satisfaction survey to gain your feedback that will drive our initiatives. As you plan your goals for 2016, we invite you to include events and activities with the Potomac chapter as a key initiative in achieving your success. 

Whether your goals include expanding your professional network, achieving or renewing your CMP or other industry certification, honing your skills, increasing your volunteer activities, or getting healthy, the Potomac chapter is poised to assist you. We are planning monthly and annual events designed to help you be the best version of you in 2016. Listed below are key activities you will want to keep in mind as you plan your year.
