May | June 2010


so for the GGIA Board and staff, we welcome in a new year of activities on July 1.


In the last months of 2010 and 2011, GGIA’s focus includes, among others: 1) to stay connected at the Capitol and with regulatory agencies and forge new alliances; 2) increasing participation in the three cer- tification programs endorsed by GGIA; 3)Increase membership; 4) strengthen current active chapters and begin one to two additional chapters; 5) con- duct a successful annual Partnership in Sustainability Campaign and celebration Gala; 6) continue to grow the trade show and improve its reputation as a viable avenue for industry commerce. These goals are para- phrased from those recorded at the annual retreat and are not in any specific priority order. There are many more goals but the six major areas are addressed in the information above. These are “big-ticket” items, yet they were broken down into manageable steps by the volunteers at the recent retreat. As staff members, we’ve been given our marching orders. We will “be- gin at once, whether [we’re] ready or not, to put it into action.”


The door of GGIA is always open. Should you have suggestions or want to be involved in any way, call the office or any Board Member. We welcome your input.


Here’s hoping for a good summer!
