DEAR FELLOW RMA
Chapter Leaders ,
As a long-time RMA Chapter Board member and an avid fan of the
NFL (go Vikings!), I can’t help but notice that the RMA chapter
calendar and the NFL calendar have a lot in common. Each fall,
NFL teams kick off their seasons after an off-season break that
includes coaching changes, roster moves, and strategizing for the
upcoming season. In a similar way, RMA chapters also kick off
their “season” in the fall after a summer break that includes board
transition and vital planning for the year ahead. Just as NFL teams
need coaching, talent, and hard work to carry out their game plans
for each week, your chapter board works together to execute your
plans for each event and the year as a whole. And whether or not
your chapter has a “Super Bowl” or some other signature event, at
the end of the season, you will have a chance to take a break, draft
new talent, and look back at what went well to determine needed
improvements or other changes so your chapter can continue
serving the members in your area.
In running a successful NFL team, one of the most critical times of
the year is during the off-season league meetings, when teams have
a chance to meet with executives and coaches from other teams and
spend time with people from league headquarters. For the RMA
chapter boards, this time is the Chapter Leaders Conference (CLC),
and on behalf of the 2015–2016 CLC Steering Committee, I invite
you, as a chapter board member, to join us in Indianapolis in
June. Just as you started your RMA “season” last fall, our Steering
Committee has been working since last fall to organize a conference
that will provide valuable tools, current best practices, and key
connections to other chapter leaders and RMA staff. Whether your
chapter is struggling to gain momentum or whether you’re already
at the top of your game, the CLC can help your board become more
effective and provide tools for continuing success. From one chapter
leader to another, please attend this time of collaboration, personal
development, and fun.
In the spirit of David Letterman, an
Indianapolis native—here are our
reasons to attend the
2016 Chapter Leaders
Conference.

SPEAKERS
AGNUS
J. TOL
Women’s College Basketball
Head Coach
BB&T Bank
Chair, RMA Board of Directors
BERENATO
In an ever-challenging
world where problems
can be opportunities,
life is examined through
love, integrity, faith, and
enthusiasm. Everyone feels
pressured for time, wealth,
and meaningful relationships, and Agnus attacks this hectic pace
in a meaningful and insightful way. Who says you can’t have it
all? Not Agnus Berenato. After 17 years coaching the Women’s
Basketball team at Georgia Tech, this highly energized mother
of five accepted the head coaching position at the University of
Pittsburgh, a team with the all-time worst record in the Big East
Conference. In just five years, she took the Panthers to the Sweet
Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, and repeated the feat the
following year. So far, her own children still don’t need therapy.
“Life and How to Survive It” will be a humorous, chaotic, and
inspirational story that shows how Agnus Berenato, a woman
with uncompromising family values, balanced her career,
volunteerism, husband, kids, and nine siblings.
Extraordinarily aspiring, Agnus put herself through high school
and college, got married, and had five children (without ever
taking a maternity leave) and became the winningest coach at
Pitt, only recently to be surpassed at Georgia Tech, and still
found time to visit our troops in Afghanistan and complete
a medical mission in Vietnam. “Life and How to Survive
It” will keep things in perspective and allow you not to take
yourself too seriously! Agnus will inspire you to break down
unrealistic expectations in your professional world by choosing
unconventional solutions to solve daily dilemmas.
