Message From Our President
Dear NASBP Leadership,
The NASBP Mid-Year Board Meeting is one of the most important events on our association’s calendar. It is one of only two opportunities each year for industry leaders to come together in person to exchange ideas, strengthen relationships, and make decisions that shape the future of our profession. This year, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Kansas City Metro, the community I am proud to call home.
I am looking forward to productive committee meetings, meaningful discussions, and the opportunity to spend time with colleagues whose leadership and dedication continue to advance our industry. This gathering is a powerful reflection of our theme for the year, “Stability Through Purpose.” The stability of NASBP does not come from standing still. Rather, it comes from a shared sense of purpose, a commitment to our members, our clients, and our industry, and a willingness to work together to address challenges and opportunities ahead. When we remain focused on that purpose, we create a strong and enduring foundation for the future.
I encourage you to make plans to join us in November and reserve your hotel accommodations soon. Please note that we are continuing the adjusted schedule introduced in recent years, with arrivals on Wednesday and the Board Meeting taking place Friday morning. An agenda-at-a-glance is included below to assist with travel planning, and the full agenda, including Thursday’s committee meeting schedule, will be distributed in the coming weeks.
I look forward to welcoming you to Kansas City and to another successful Mid-Year Meeting.
Best Regards,
Monica Donatelli
NASBP President
