A MESSAGE FROM THE NJCACOA VICE PRESIDENT

I would like to start out by saying how great it was to represent such a fine group of people as the President of our association. I had the opportunity to work along with some of the most dedicated ACO's I've ever met.

The last eight years as President was extremely rewarding and educational from seminars I've attended, meetings with politicians, conferences and most of all going to Katrina for 10 days. That was an experience I will never forget.

As the new Vice President I hope continue being as active with our association as possible. I appreciate the members electing me to represent our association again and will give our new President Mike Melchionne as much help as needed.

We now have a few new board members which I feel will add some new and fresh ideas for our future. I would also like to thank a past board members for their time and dedication and was told they will continue to help support us.

I have some goals I would like to start working on, one of which will be fund raising. In order for our association to grow and prosper we need to increase our memberships and raise more funds foreducation and training. Our goal as an association must be to establish a professional image at all times in the field and off. With this will come SUCCESS.

NJCACOA Vice President
