President's Message:

The Year of the Member

Thank you for entrusting me with the helm of the Mississippi Association for Institutional Research (MAIR) this year. I am honored to serve in this role. I will use this time to seek ways to improve MAIR and meet the needs of our members.

As I sift through my goals for MAIR, I realized the resounding theme was providing ways for our members to develop themselves. We want our presentations to be intentional in providing information for members to improve their skills or identify resources to make their job more efficient and of higher quality. Thus, the theme for this year will be YOU!

The annual meeting process has been updated to set the date and location for next year (March 26 & 27, 2020 at Gulfport). This will allow us time to recruit the presenters and sponsors that will help meet member needs. Webinars and a symposium will be additional ways that MAIR will add value for each member, all with the goal of serving our members.

I urge you to develop personal goals during these next few months. If there are ways MAIR can help with those, let me know. I want you to join me in this journey…that is all about YOU!

Appreciatively,

Mitzi R. Norris
