Opportunities Await Us in 2025!
Dear ACC Northeast Chapter Membership,
As we enter 2025, we are thankful to you, our members, for the incredible community you build every day. Our ACC Northeast Chapter Board and Committees spent considerable time last year learning about your needs and considering thoughtful ways to address them. We are pleased to report that the health of our Chapter remains strong. 2024 was another stellar year for us. Our total membership grew 5%, to reach 1,515 members across our Chapter – surpassing the 1,500-member mark for the first time. Our recruitment efforts yielded 342 new members, and our member retention remained relatively flat, reflecting continued stability in our membership community, year over year. We are pleased with these results. This success is your success and the success of our entire membership community. Each of you plays a role in adding to the vibrancy that is the ACC Northeast Chapter, and the value that it creates for the careers of our members.
As we reflect on 2024, here are some highlights of the influence our membership has on the direction of our Chapter. In January we conducted our annual membership survey, which our Board and Committees leverage to address membership needs. In late October our board held a strategic planning retreat aimed at shaping the future direction of our chapter. Member feedback was center-stage, and the board discussed ways to enhance member engagement, expand our program offerings to focus on more opportunities for half-day learning sessions, and develop and strengthen a community-centric approach to education and networking. The insights gained during this retreat will shape our strategy to meet the evolving needs of our members for years to come.
Thank you for your contributions to our vibrant community – we look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events in 2025!

ACC Northeast Chapter President
