Digging deep into the beauty of this Spring season has me eyeing up vacation time, while also realizing I, yet again, let myself eat too many cookies over the holidays. And this morning...
But then I remembered that I will see you all in a few short months and all is right in the world! We do want to know what promotions have happened, who retired, and if you know any women who are new to our profession that we can extend a warm welcome to. Please comment below or share this blog post with them, and/or the information with us, so we can publicly recognize them.

I suggest adding a list of States that are associated within MAAWLE on our front page. This will help significantly in regards to increasing memberships. View our webpage as though you were someone who knows nothing about this awesome association. It does not make clear our A.O. and many potential new members would just glance through and not even have a clear understanding that they may or may not be within our association's area for membership.
