PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I've always liked giraffes, but never
really stopped to think why. On numerous occasions, I walked through
a local home décor store, admired a giraffe on display, and debated
with myself over whether to purchase it. I received that giraffe as
a Christmas present this year. But now I know why I admired that
giraffe for so long.
I keep a folder in my office of
inspirational messages that I come across. One day in looking
through that folder, I found one that had appeared in Innsbrook
Today several years ago. It was entitled "Why does Hugh look up to
giraffes?" It
was from that article that I issued a challenge at the first meeting
of the 2007 - 2008 Board. It is that same challenge that I now
extend to the entire membership of the CVC of CMSA. As individuals
and as a chapter, my challenge is that:
-
We stand head and
shoulders above the crowd.
-
We have great
vision to reach goals others never attain.
-
We become a
chapter that others look up to.
It takes a lot of
giraffes to live up to this challenge. Your Board cannot do the job
alone. We need the involvement of every member to become a chapter
that others look up to. None of us were born case managers, but we
developed the characteristics that led us to case management. Now is
the time to unleash that giraffe within you!
