Reflecting on Growth and Renewal: The Value of ACPM Membership
As we reach the final months of the year, I find that the change in seasons inspires me not just to pull out my fall wardrobe and hot chocolate, but also to reflect and begin to mentally prepare for next year’s new beginning. I usually take some time to think about how I’ve grown and navigated my personal and professional journey in the past year. Renewing my membership in ACPM, yes, is a practical decision, but also is a deeply personal one that ties directly into my desire for growth and sense of fulfillment. I’d like to share a few reasons why I continue to maintain my membership and hope some of these will ring true for you as well.

Interim CEO Update: 09/5/2024
With summer winding down, the weekends seem to be a little less scheduled and more open for taking time to enjoy the simple pleasures — like a Saturday morning stroll through the local farmer’s market. This past weekend, my daughter and I grabbed our “market” bags and hit the stands. I am always amazed at the stimulation from so many colors found in the fruits and vegetables, not to mention the smells, especially the peaches and basil! (Just the memory brings a smile.) And, as it was so eloquently explained in the promo for the market, this past weekend represented the great divide between seasons — you will find the summer fruits and vegetables, but also see the introduction of squash. A nice reminder it is harvest season.
