Greetings Members of the Edgecombe-Nash Retired School Personnel,

​

Although this is an unprecedented, challenging time, the officers and committee chairmen of this local unit continue to strive to accomplish their mission and goals.  Focusing on the goals-Communication, Consistency, and Collaboration, the Executive Board is working diligently to conduct meetings, to inform members of pertinent issues and concerns, to connect with members, and to increase membership.

​

Because of the Pandemic, the Executive Board Meetings and the Monthly Members Meetings are held monthly using the Zoom Platform at 10:30 A. M.  Members can join the meetings by dialing in with their telephones or by using their computers, laptops, or iPads.  I encourage members to participate in the Members Meetings to stay abreast of local, region, and state information.  Also, during the Members Meetings, presenters are invited to speak on various topics, officers and committee chairmen provide reports on their projects and activities, and social activities are conducted to fellowship.

​

To communicate with members, the Calling Post sends messages, cards are sent, and the website provides information.  A Calendar of Programs and Activities is provided to members to identify the program topics, presenters, projects, Quality of Life issues, fundraising projects, and social activities for each month.  Also, members are recognized for their achievements.

​

   2021 Goals are as follows:

  1. Increase attendance and participation at the Monthly Members.  

  2. Develop a handbook to include the duties and responsibilities of officers and committee chairmen.

  3. Retain, Reclaim, and Recruit members.

  4. Communicate, be Consistent, and Collaborate.

  5. Publicize the activities of this local unit.

​

This year,

Live in the Moment.

Start each day with Gratitude.  Laugh More.  Meditate.  Focus on the Positive. 

Believe it all will fall into Place.  Stick to your Goals. Be Generous.  Choose Happy.

​

​

Nell Burwell, President
