LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Greetings fellow Mid-Atlantic Members - I am excited to have the opportunity to lead our chapter this year.  We are currently 472 members strong from 117 organizations. We join together insight professionals from full-service research companies, consulting firms specializing in political, public affairs, and corporate positioning research, research suppliers, technology firms, nonprofits and trade associations, independent researchers, and major corporations.

Our chapter aspires to be the hub for career and business development for members in the DMV region. To further this aim, we have a series of events and mixers planned for this year. In the next few months, we have a university forum at George Mason University; a Young Professionals networking event, and our annual symposium on May 8th. Did I just hear a roar of applause for the symposium?  We are moving the venue to a modern conference center next to the Rosslyn metro. Come for the sky-high views and captivating company!

As you read this, I hope each of you will think about how you can become more involved, and how you can volunteer your time, talent, and energy as we roll out our activities for the year. We have an amazing and diverse membership from which you can learn, get business, find or fill a new position, and have a good time! 

Now that you’re all rearing to get more involved...let me leave you with three concrete asks:

  • We need members for our Symposium Planning Committee to help with selecting speakers, organizing communications, and site management.
  • Are you a LinkedIn wizard or willing to become one? We are scouting talent to help us maximize our chapter’s presence on LinkedIn, including a method for members to advertise job openings.
  • Have an idea for our July Network and Learn event? Tell us what you’d like to see and/or help us plan.

If any of these piques your interest, email me at midatlanticchapter@insightsassociation.org. Otherwise, I look forward to talking to you at an upcoming chapter event.

Warm Regards,

Karen Kaludov, MAC Chapter President
