MSAE President's Update - December 2020

 MSAE President's Update - December 2020

MSAE President, Kathy Pabst, CAE
 

 

As my year of serving you as President ends, I look back and hope to have continued the efforts of the board and left it better than before I began my term. Building on the foundation of previous Presidents, MSAE had a direction charted, but was derailed by COVID-19. No one could have predicted the impact this devastating disease had on our personal lives and our professional environments. The MSAE board made the tough decision to move the management of the organization to the board due to the financial impact of hiring an association management company. We have succeeded in this transition because we have the right team in place at the right time.

Raise your hand if your organization uses volunteers! Now, raise your hand if you have or are currently a volunteer for another organization. I raised my hand on both of these questions.

As I stated, their commitment, perspective, and time are critical to the advancement of Missouri associations.

What are we going to do now? How can we handle this situation? What will be the impact on my association and industry/profession? What changes do we need to make to survive? Who can help us? Will we ever meet in person again? These questions and many more have been going through my mind over the last 6 months. Working for an association of family physicians, we are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health crisis of racism. As president of MSAE, we are here to help you answer these questions through our education sessions, newsletters, and networking. But, MSAE has also been impacted by these issues. What can we do to protect our members and continue the services and benefits provided by MSAE. Our associate members are struggling through these unprecedented times and we are in this together with them!
