Happy Spring to my fellow medical assistants!

​

The air is fresh, the weather is warmer and flowers are starting to bloom. I love seeing all these signs of things to come.  I usually take some time to clean up my home, open the windows and let a fresh breeze blow in.  I think we all do this in some shape, whether in our home or work, at this time of the year.  It gives a chance to reset and create space for new things and opportunities.

 
This is the start of a new board and new year for all of us. We have all just returned from a great annual conference in Lockbourne, Ohio. I want to give a big thank you to the Franklin and Montgomery chapters for presenting us with a great slate of continuing education sessions. You were given a big task to see what can be done to decrease the costs of the conference and still present a good conference. You succeeded in that mission and have given us examples of what can be done in the future.

​

My theme for my installation and the upcoming year is, we are all pieces of the puzzle. It takes every piece, in different shapes,  to make the puzzle complete. As I stated in my speech, we are all pieces in many different puzzles. I hope you all take some time to reflect what piece you are in your local chapters and in the OSSMA. The shape and purpose of your piece may change over time but still it is essential and valued.

​

As your President, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions and/or concerns. I want this to be another year of growth for the OSSMA. I am excited for what this year will bring.
