American Society of Women Accountants
President’s Message
Imagine the possibilities….visualize the possibilities.
It is a new year. We can start fresh again. We can change old habits, create
new ones, establish goals for the year, go back to school, finish a degree-- or start
a new one….the possibilities are endless. We all need goals to get us through
life, or at least we need to keep looking forward. We can’t change the
“yesterdays” in our lives (whether they were good or bad) but we can change
what we do today and what we do in our “tomorrows.”
Change, or even a hint of change, can be frightening to some people. Change can
actually be a good thing. It keeps us out of ruts and causes us to take charge of
our lives. If you don’t like a situation because something has changed, maybe
2007 – 2008 you need to re-evaluate your own life. It could be that it is time to move on,
Officers move up—or move out! We will always have to deal with change. We can
always make it into a positive!
