MLA President 2005/06

Mary Joan (M.J.) Tooey, AHIP

Transforming ourselves, our profession, our association

"Transformation is a great word. It is a word about change. It is a word that implies growth and movement from a place where you are, to a place that promises to be better. It is a comforting, positive change word because it is a safe word. It implies a change that doesn’t totally leave the past behind but builds on something that was, and makes it better, taking it to a higher place.... My tripartite focus for this year is on the transformation of ourselves, our profession, and our association. "
