Welcome

Dear Savannah Post Members and Friends,

Can you believe how fast 2010 has come and now is almost gone? And, even though this year has been filled with many ups and downs for most of us, it has still flown by at record speed.

As a young business owner, I find myself reflecting on what was done right and focusing on how to improve and make the most of the year approaching. I realize that if you keep doing the same thing day in and day out, you will get the same result so change is imperative.

Last month, a few of us on the board had the privilege to sit down with the new Commander at Savannah District, COL Hall. We discussed the things we have done right as a Post and areas where we could improve. One point that came out of our discussion was to give the 2011 year a more direct focus and an overall theme. So, with that idea in mind, we have decided to make some significant changes that will hopefully be a welcomed benefit to our Post members.

Starting in January of 2011, we have decided to revamp our lunch programs. The programs are focused on various opportunities in the market place. We hope to bring in speakers from agencies such as: DPW’s, GDOT, Navy, DOE, VA, GA Guard, etc. Our first meeting in January will kick off with a speaker from the GA Ports Authority.

We hope that change and focus will bring an added value to our Post members in a tough economy. We will continue to have our sustaining member presentations and will continue to pave the way as a leader for Large SAME Posts in the Country.

Happy Holidays and All the Best in 2011!

Sally Riker
