The New Year is well underway and research shows that 80% of New Year's resolutions* are thrown out the window by the end of February, according to Marti Hope Gonzales, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota.
It's not too late if getting involved in the New Jersey Turnaround Management Association (NJTMA) and being more active in the bankruptcy and turnaround community was one of your resolutions. TMA is ready for your involvement. We will provide educational and networking events and membership opportunities with many spaces for new faces in 2017. In other words, NJTMA welcomes your involvement, support, membership and participation. So, let's make it a great year of being true to our resolutions by attending, joining and getting involved in NJTMA.
