9/6/2008 - Message from the President
To all BMA Colorado Members
Looking ahead into the upcoming BMA program year, I am excited to be your new President. My personal vision is to continue growing Colorado BMA, offering relevant and compelling programs that help you thrive professionally and personally.
During these challenging times, we have more to do and less time to do it. I want to assure you that your investment in BMA, both in time and money, helps you navigate our ever-changing B2B marketing obstacles. BMA gives you the tools and personal networks you need to be successful.
I recently heard a story about a golfer at a tournament. He showed up two hours early to hit twenty balls with each of his clubs. With each swing, he tried to improve and figure out how to hit the ball better. A golf pro walked up, threw down and hit only three balls: one with a driver, one with a 3-iron and one with a wedge. The pro started to walk away and the golfer yelled out, "Is that all you're going to practice?" The golf pro smiled and replied, "If you didn’t bring it with you, you're not going to find it out here."
This story stuck with me because the same statement holds true in the business world. You have to be prepared for that critical business meeting. How will you keep up your skills and network in the B2B marketing community? BMA is your opportunity to be a B2B pro.
How can BMA help you this year?
1. Engage in relevant B2B Programs
2. Share your thought leadership and learn from others
3. Discover new ideas to help your business grow
I ask that all members get involved with BMA. Join a committee, be a sponsor or bring a friend to an event.
If each member would bring one new friend or colleague to BMA, we would have over 700 members and become the largest chapter in BMA. Who are you going to bring?
I look forward to meeting you at an upcoming event.
Contact me with your suggestions, comments or just to say "hi."
