Dear MABC Members,

Did you see what an amazing month MABC members had in the community? There were book talks and workshops and awards and outreach and community service and laughter and joy in the fact that we GET to do our professional craft! I continue to give thanks that back in 2016 I was directed to join this group. 

In the beginning, I will admit that I was intimidated, nervous, and even a bit reserved. But as I continued to invest in the relationships, content, expertise, and support this group provides, I have collected more value that I could have ever predicted. As I reflect back, I am shocked to find that I have met MABC members for coffee, beers, cow-milking, walks, hockey games, puppy time, yoga, writing, marketing, tours, accountability, meals, dancing, theater, picnics, and even an upcoming paddleboard meeting on Lake Wingra!  

I have learned. I have grown. I have celebrated. I have risked. I have created. And I have all of you to thank for it! 

Let's keep 2024 rolling strong! 

Sincerely,
Heather Dean
