2011
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the members for allowing me to serve as President during the 2011-2012 school year. It was a tremendous honor to have been able to lead this devoted and amazing group of professionals. Through the collaborative efforts of the entire association, we were able to achieve many goals established by the Board.
Together we began the development of a strategic planning process to help define the direction and focus for OSPA from year to year. This included conducting the first Annual Organizational and Operational Assessment. During this year, we were also successful in creating the Early Career Taskforce, aimed at providing support and services specifically for students, interns, and early professionals. Finally, the Board had the honor to recognized Mrs. Valorie Wolcott Mendelson for her outstanding efforts in the creation, development, implementation, and promotion of the scholarship program by renaming the OSPA Scholarship to the Valorie Wolcott Mendelson OSPA Scholarship.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your President. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be part this outstanding organization.
