A Road Map is a Driving Force for Success - From the President

There's nothing worse than having to drive somewhere and you don't have directions--it is confusing, scary and frustrating. In order to arrive at your destination, you need a plan--a road map to chart your ways.

We all need "street signs," or directions, to help guide us along as we explore beyond our every-day boundaries. This is especially true when deciding whether or not to volunteer, assume a leadership position or advance within your profession. Broadening your professional scope can be scary, albeit extremely rewarding.
