'Winning ways'--that's the ticket

As I write this letter while clicking back and forth between college football, NFL games, and the baseball playoffs, I can't help but think about the word “winners.” It's a dynamic word with lots of positive meaning.

Pw 9087 Presidents Letter 01

We will be focusing on winning at our upcoming Annual Meeting March 29 through April 2, 2007, at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, AZ. Save the dates. You won't want to miss this meeting.

 “Opportunity Abounds,” “Preparing for the Growth,” “Where's the ‘WOW' ”—these were all topics of my previous letters as your association president.

I am pleased to report that a lot of winning has taken place within and throughout your association. Membership continues to grow, exceeding our goals. Top-quality companies are listing their requirements on our RFQ system. Several members have been winning new business as a result. The RFQ mechanism is working for all of us. You will hear more about the success of this program from fellow members at the Annual Meeting.

In the meantime, I am pleased to report that a representative of a well-known company recently called me and expressed thanks for the follow-up and follow-through of more than 20 members in response to his RFQ. This was the first time he had used the system, and he was quite pleased with the results. More than one of our members was awarded business with this company. We are all ”winners.” As the John Fogerty song goes, “Put me in coach, I'm ready to play.” I trust you will agree that membership in the association is an invaluable investment.
