MAA President's Message
November/December Message
Hello MAA Members,
As I reflect on my journey over the past six years—from my initial step as District Representative to serving as your President—I am filled with gratitude for the incredible experiences and friendships I’ve forged along the way. This will be my final message as President, and while I feel a tinge of sadness, I am also excited for what lies ahead as your Past President.
During my presidency, I aimed to enhance our presence on social media, recognizing the importance of adapting to our digital age. We’ve made strides in this area, but I hope to see further growth and exploration of new platforms. Embracing these changes does not mean we lose sight of our core values. The in-person networking and mentorship that MAA offers are irreplaceable, and they remain at the heart of our mission.
The path of an assessor can be winding, but MAA is here to help smooth the journey. Our recent Fall School at Treetops exemplified this mission, featuring exceptional classes and warm hospitality. I am grateful for the fantastic attendance and the dedicated MAA members who contributed to its success. As I close this chapter, I feel immense pride in what we’ve accomplished together. Leadership is a journey, and I encourage each of you to take that first step, just as I did. It may not be easy, but the rewards are well worth it.
Thank you for the memories, support, and collaboration. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for MAA and each of you.
Warm regards,
Amanda Lacelle
President, MAA
