Greetings to all fellow ENA members,
Happy New Year to all! I look forward to serving as your State President in 2010 and know that we will have a great year! Looking over the past year, I am proud to be a member of the South Carolina ENA. As we move forward this year we will be modeling our strategic initiatives from the national ENA plan.

At the January meeting, we will be reviewing the state strategic plan for 2010 and the yearly planning calendar. I will have the draft posted to the website for review. If you cannot make it to the meeting and have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Again, I look forward to the coming year and serving as your President.
