Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful year and getting ready to spend the holiday season with loved ones. It has been a busy year and will soon begin a New Year; we have a lot of work to do. First, I would like to congratulate Mrs. Candace Liptrot, MLS of Alabama. She was appointed one of the New Member/Young Observer for 2025. This year’s Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri was a great success. Congratulations to all the National Award winners. Alabama award recipients were Lenise Singleton - Distinguished Achievement and Salimata Kone-Coulibaly – Exceptional Merit.
The Magnolia Educational Treasurers (MET) meeting was held in sunny Maitland, Florida this past September at the Sheraton Orlando North. If you were unable to attend this year, then stay tuned. The 2026 Magnolia Educational Treasures Meeting will be held in the Port City of Mobile, Alabama September 25-26, 2026, at the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel. More information to come on details and rates.
Please plan to attend the ALSSAMT Spring Educational/Business Meeting on April 12, 2025, at Chattahoochee Valley Community College 2602 College Drive, Phenix City, Alabama 36869. Please watch your email for further updates and email blasts. It is a wonderful way to earn continuing education while networking and meeting new people so please come join us.

The 2025 AMT Annual Meeting will be held July 21-25, 2025, at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown, 600 Commonwealth Place, Pittsburgh, PA. Please watch the AMT website for more information! Mark your calendars and please plan to attend as this is always an exciting experience.
Please remember to update your phone number, address, and email address so that you can receive proper communication from AMT about your State Society. We would love to communicate with as many members as we can. Welcome gifts were sent to all new Alabama AMT members over the last 30 days.
Please make sure that you put AMT on your safe senders list to ensure you get all AMT emails. Please check your junk and spam folders.
Once again, thank you for allowing me to continue as your President for another term. I am always looking for ways to improve our membership and our state society. If you have any questions, concerns or comments please reach out to me at my email address listed below.
Let's have a wonderful New Year!
