President's Message

~ Balance ~ the Life of Business and the Business of Living

The theme for our 2008-2009 MBN year is "Balance – the Life of Business and the Business of Living."  My goal as this year's president, is to assist in exploring a variety of ways to balance work and life, as well as discovering the delicate art of managing career challenges.   Work-life balance is defined differently for each of us because we have varying priorities and competing elements in our lives from Friends/Community, Family, Self and Work. The right balance for you today may be different tomorrow as your life changes..     The MBN leadership team, comprised of the Synergy Board, Subnetwork Chairs and Symposium Committee, will be exploring and presenting tools to assist you in finding that correct balance for YOU. Together we will be discovering and sharing ideas of what we each need to have meaningful achievements and enjoyment in our daily lives.   I am looking forward to a successful and enjoyable year with you.   - Anne Jablonski, MBN President 2008-2009
