This year, our goals are clear:
1. Grow Membership: We aim to double our paid membership. By expanding our ranks, we can amplify our voice, strengthen our resources, and create more opportunities for professional development and collaboration.
2. Strengthen Our Presence in the Community: From volunteering to mentoring, we will work to leave a lasting positive impact on the Inland Empire. Together, we will continue to address critical issues affecting our community and ensure that our efforts embody the values of equity and justice.
3. Build a Strong Network and Referral Base: By connecting members across practice areas and industries, we can foster meaningful relationships that enhance both personal and professional success.
