From the May/June 2005 DIALOGUE article:
"The opportunity to meet different people and experience different things has broadened my horizons and helped me to better deal with the everyday situations one encounters in the payroll environment. Also, being the Chairman and a member of the CPA Board of Directors has allowed me the opportunity to participate in activities that have provided me with skills that have made me a more rounded individual and hopefully a more professional payroll practitioner... To anyone who thinks they can't be Chairman of the CPA, you can - I remember back to when Ann Turner-Murphy told me that one day I would be Chair and I didn't believe her. The opportunity is there for everyone, so if it's something you are interested in then seize the opportunity and know that dreams can come true."
