Dear TMA Nevada Members,

I want to take a brief moment of your time to share some thoughts about TMA Nevada as 2009 closes upon us.

The year has gone by so fast and yet stating that it has been marked by challenge for our country and for us as neighbors and friends in Nevada is quite the understatement. It's often been said that how we deal with adversity is a true test of inner strength and grit. I think you'll agree that making a positive difference in the face of adversity is a good litmus test of a successful turnaround.

You dear TMA Nevada member have made a positive difference:

• You are an accomplished and vibrant professional
• You are a concerned neighbor
• You are a friend

You, with all that you are, have participated in our organization and have inspired its continued commitment to delivering the best of programs to make us better professionals, neighbors and friends. By our association, business prospects have been raised, collaborations have been forged, and our business community is the better for it.

So, it's time for me and your board of directors to say a very special Thank you:

1. Thank you for your membership
2. Thank you for your interest in our programs
