![]() Hey guys and gals, it’s Wheeler. This article is the start of a monthly series to keep our members informed of what’s going on in MDNA mixed in with some fun positive life gaining stuff. I will always do my best to keep the train moving forward in the right direction. I have found for me and my business; this has been a very valuable tool. Our association is doing well. Financially, we are as strong as ever. We have made many adjustments over the past five years to get back on track. Two things that needed our attention were Locator and our Alexandria building. Over the past few years, we were able to team up with Machine Hub, which allowed us to revitalize Locator into an internet presence. We were able to get back on track and have had great success with our bulk email packages and CRMS sales. And I am happy to report that Locator is profitable today. With the sale of our building, MDNA was able to extricate itself from what was once a very positive investment for our association but had become a huge financial draw in recent years. The property was costing us a lot of money to maintain and the market for rentals had grown soft in the DC area. We were able to secure a qualified buyer and with those resources, we have been able to invest in the market where our money is earning interest. I am very proud of the progress we have made. And we are developing a strategy to use the interest income for member benefits. Please stay tuned for things ahead. For example, our website is getting a complete makeover. The anticipated launch date of our new site is mid-September. This will be a solid upgrade. Finally, we will be focusing on the heartbeat of our association, the chapters. Our team is working to help our chapters plan events for our members with good content and activities that we will all enjoy. The officer team is meeting in California in the next few weeks to lay out next year’s activities, I look forward to attending many chapter events here in the near future.
