Hafa Adai,​

​

Congratulations to the 31 CGFMs who are part of our chapter. We appreciate you and your efforts to bring transparency and accountability to the forefront at your agencies. Kudos to you!!!

​

Special thanks to Vincent C. Camacho, our guest speaker for our meeting for one CPE. I am definitely looking forward to his virtual presentation on "How to Prevent Bullying in the Workplace". He is always very knowledgeable and makes the topics interesting.

​

We will be electing our new officer team this year and are thankful to those who have chosen to serve.

​

At the end of April, please be sure to provide our community service directors Margie and Vanessa, all te ways that you participated in giving back to others. Remember each one of us should strive to do at least 50 minutes. Examples of ways to give back: Help clean the beach, Ritidian has one every first Saturday of the month. How about a letter writing or card making campaign to veterans or the elderly? You can also spend time cleaning out your closet then donate your pre-loved items to the homeless shelters. Another idea that comes to mind is to help someone with their taxes.

​

We need your help for AGA's Power of 7 Recruitment Challenge! YOU are the best advocates for AGA membership. In as little as 7 minutes - with a quick call or email you can have an impact in recruitment. For our 50th anniversary, our goal is to recruit 50 new members. We have just reached 27 new members, 23 more to go. Remember, we as a team can do it!!!

​

Stay safe, wear your mask, be kind and create a great day!

 

Best Regards,

Pilar Pangelinan
