“There’s disruption happening all around us and I know we (as in you too) can do better. That’s why the theme for the 2018/19 program year is SHAKE THINGS UP!
I challenge you to look at what you are doing through a different lens. Is there something you can do differently? Have you been trudging along doing the same approach with the same outcomes for far too long? If so, do it a little differently next time, or a lot differently. Let us know how we can help you grow and thrive in your careers. Share your stories and let’s see how together we can elevate marketing and reach the SMPS vision of Business Transformed through Marketing Leadership.”
– Valerie Puchades, CPSM | SMPS Boston President, 2018-19
