Newsletter - July 2025
Dear NCMA Puget Sound Chapter Members,

🌞 Summer Break – But Still Hard at Work!
While we are taking a summer break from our regular training and education sessions, your Chapter Board is using this time behind the scenes to update and improve our internal systems. Our goal is to enhance member outreach, communication, and overall support, making it easier and more rewarding for you to stay engaged and informed.
