The honorable Ellen Helmerson (Army) will be taking over as our next president and she brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership experience to the Hampton Roads ASMC Chapter. I truly believe we are on the verge of being recognized as one of the best ASMC Chapters again and I’d like to challenge our members and those who are considering joining ASMC to get out and get involved. You’ve spent 40 dollars on your ASMC membership……so invest in yourself and utilize our chapter to cultivate your skills and abilities, meet new people and make new friends, earn continuing education credits, help the community, and make a difference. It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve as your President. Sincerely, JT
