On Monday, February 6, 2012, LMA Midwest hosted its Meet the Board Reception to thank outgoing board members and welcome the new crew. Incoming President Tasneem Goodman said a few words to acknowledge the contributions of current and past members, while also sharing her excitement about the year ahead. The annual event was held at Roka Akor in River North, where guests enjoyed signature cocktails and sushi.
In addition to the networking aspect of the reception, the evening also provided guests with the opportunity to give back to the community. By last call, LMA Midwest had raised $275 for The Night Ministry, an organization that fights poverty and homelessness in Chicago. On February 9, the gift cards and cash donations were presented to representatives of The Night Ministry, who were extremely grateful for the generosity of our members.
