Reflecting on Growth, Gratitude, and Looking Ahead to 2025

Dear Members and Friends,

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for contributing to another successful year for AIA Chesapeake Bay. This year, we are proud to celebrate a 5% growth in membership, a reflection of the strength, dedication, and passion within our community.

It has been my honor and privilege to serve as your President for the last three years. Watching our chapter grow, collaborate, and accomplish so much has been an incredible experience, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such talented professionals.

Looking ahead, I am thrilled to introduce the 2025 Board of Directors, a dynamic team of leaders who will carry our mission forward. Their vision and commitment will undoubtedly drive us to new heights in the coming year. Stay tuned for more details on their plans and initiatives!

Finally, as we wrap up this year, I want to wish you and your families a warm, joyful holiday season filled with peace and celebration. Here’s to a prosperous and inspiring 2025!

Thank you for your continued support.

With gratitude,
