Dear chapter members


Our industry is in a critical phase. While many of us are confused, lost and even doubting the future, I believe this can be the most innovative time in our industry.


Here at AAJA, we are thinking about each and every one of our members. So far this year, the national office has done several webinar about our changing industry. Locally, Florida chapter has held social mixer and events to rise funding to support member education, media access workshop for the community and other events.


The core of our chapter relies on members like yourself, thus renewing your membership is key to our chapter's stability during these challenging times. As a result, I urge all of you to renew your membership to AAJA. Your support is vital.


Our chapter is diverse but also spread out. Let us know how we can serve you better.


Thanks

Paul Cheung
