From the Desk of the
President... 
March
2005
Greetings from the desk of the president!
March is one of the happiest months of the year. It contains the first
day of Spring. Spring brings with it a new hope. We are refreshed and
life is renewed. We who have been cooped up all winter are out and
about. We were iced out of our intended meeting on January 19th. On
Wednesday March 23rd we plan on meeting and catching up at Rip's in
Bowie at 9:30 am. As you may recall, we have special elections
scheduled at that time. For you folks who had planned to come in
January, we apologize for any inconvenience our cancellation may have
caused. Please plan to attend this important meeting and bring your
co-workers. I'm looking forward to it, I hope you will too.
We're actually looking forward to lots of
things...As I write this, I'm looking forward to defrosting my body
and heating up my mind in Fort Lauderdale at "Leadership"
the first part of the month. I'm looking back and remembering our goal
(resolution) of each one of us recruiting one new ENA member this
year. Let us not lose focus. Also, I'm looking forward to ENA By The
Bay on May 5th and 6th in Linthicum at the Maritime Institute with
great speakers, networking, terrific vendors. This will be MD ENA's
finest hour. If we choose, we may look even further toward the
national ENA Scientific Assembly to be held in Nashville at the
Opryland Hotel.
I've heard it said that a windshield is
far bigger than a rear view mirror because it is so much more
important where we are going than where we've been. Yes, an occasional
backward glance is ok. Let's look forward together...
Counting the days 'til Spring,
Kathy Ferrara
