Charting Pathways to Evolve Our Profession

Our Annual Report is live and so is the full Career Pathways Report and resources, getting amplified via our new newsletter. All share our developing story–we're charting new pathways to evolve our association and profession!

Dear Members,

As we reflect on the past year, we celebrate remarkable progress—launching groundbreaking Career Pathways resources, advocating for an official occupation code, and strengthening our foundation with new committees and leaders. I encourage you to explore the 2024 Annual Report to see the impact of our collective efforts. Looking ahead to 2025, we are focused on strengthening the Service Enterprise program, enhancing membership strategies, and planning our first ever in-person National Summit. Now more than ever, your engagement is essential. I invite you to stay informed, get involved, and be part of the exciting evolution of our community!

Sincerely,
Darlene
