This year, one of my favorite TV shows, "The Sing-Off," hosted by Nick Lachey, returned for its third season. For those of you who are not familiar with the premise of the show, it features 16 of the very best a cappella groups, ranging in size and age, who perform in weekly competitions. This season was even more exciting as one of the groups included my former college roommate! At the end of each week, the judges eliminate one group. However, before they depart the stage, they perform their "swan song," as a final goodbye. Now, as I compose my own swan song, it is difficult to summarize this positive and rewarding experience.
There were many accomplishments for the chapter, and we certainly have a lot to be proud of! Thank you again for the opportunity to serve as your President. It has been a great privilege serving the Chapter and working along side such a talented group of individuals who all went above and beyond to ensure the Chapter brought continued value and benefit to its membership. This is your organization and together we make it a success.
Please join me in welcoming our 2012 president, Ezra Crawford. I look forward to the strides the LMA Capital Chapter will make through his leadership!
Happy holidays and best wishes for a prosperous 2012! Look forward to seeing you in January.
