"Chapter leadership allowed me to practice and refine my leadership skills away from the office. It better prepared me for leadership roles at the bank. Moreover, leading peer volunteers was an excellent prerequisite to leading employees. The skills I gained increased my effectiveness as a manager."
Joseph Potuzak, Senior Credit Officer
Treasury Services Division

How can you get involved with RMA? The first thing you should do is become an Individual Associate of RMA. All individual members receive frequent communications about upcoming RMA activities such as conferences, general meetings, educational events, and local chapter activities. Get involved by attending an RMA event.
Be sure to also watch for opportunities from our local chapters. Our chapters rely on the talents of volunteers to stage many of their programs, conduct membership development efforts, and promote the ideals of the Association. There are also opportunities to get involved on advisory councils, committees, and task forces at the international level.
To find out more about how you can get involved, e-mail Maryann Yurkonis at myurkonis@rmahq.org.
