A Letter From Outgoing SMPS President Garrett McCullough

Dear Members,

As this board year comes to a close, I find myself feeling a mix of pride, humility, and unfinished ambition. We set out with big goals, and in many ways, we achieved them. Our financials are more transparent than before. Our leadership is strong, and our future is bright. The Director-Elect role, though still evolving, has helped usher in a new generation of volunteer leaders. And while membership numbers held steady, our engagement showed that the value of this chapter runs deeper than numbers alone.

To lead this organization has been a privilege and an honor. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the members of this chapter. As I step into the role of past president, I’m filled with optimism. Ahead of us are changes that will make us stronger: aligning our board and fiscal year with the calendar year, continuing to evolve our technology, and refining the way we serve our members.

But more than anything, I look forward to seeing Maria lead us forward. Her intelligence, determination, and vision will guide us into a milestone year. Under her leadership we will begin a new board and fiscal year, celebrate our 25th anniversary, and host the Southern Regional Conference.

Maria will have a strong board by her side. But the measure of our success will be the engagement of every member, your ideas, your energy, your voice.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve, to lead, and to be inspired by each of you. The work continues, and the best is yet to come.

Sincerely,

Garrett McCullough

President 

Society of Marketing Professional Services, San Antonio Chapter
