Alliance News Ilene Bosscher, MA, MDiv, LMFT, LPCC GLMSA President [email protected] I t is hard to believe that my term as President of GLMSA is so quickly drawing to an end. I would like to take time to reflect a bit on what we have accomplished as an Alliance during this year. I would like to thank all of the men and women on the GLMSA board and committees as well as everyone who helped me this year. I would especially like to thank Jenny Jacob for her friendship, and dedication and commitment to the Alliance. Jenny chaired the membership committee and made a tremendous contribution to our success this year. GLMS Alliance Upcoming Events All Alliance events can be found at www.glms.org in the Alliance tab at under Membership. • I had an article published in the AMAA Magazine on the cultural shift and how it is affecting GLMSA. • We revised the by-laws, membership process and form, and added a permanent email to our growing online presence and network of social media. • We moved our grant applications to our online webpage, and will be giving out seven grants this year, over three times what we did last year. • We had a 44 percent increase in paid membership this year. • • We honored several members for their accomplishments over their decades of service to the Alliance: We raised over $2500 for the various charities at our outreaches and volunteered many hours. • We had the AMA Alliance visit our city and bring with them Alliance members from many states. • But most important: we fulfilled our mission of caring about our fellow men, women, and family members in our medical community and reaching out widely to incorporate those who had not been a member before. • -- Barbara Cox -- Margaret White -- Ruth Ryan -- FuMei Tsai -- Barbara Davis -- Millicent Evans We had the first for GLMSA and the first in the nation Men’s Activities Committee, which hosted three events for Men in the Alliance. It has been a great year blessed with many accomplishments and milestones and I have been honored to be the GLMSA President. Thank you for this opportunity.
