The Coca-Cola Company IAAP Organization In Action

Welcome - The President Speaks

Possibility of Success

You can make your life a triumph in spite of every adversity. Or you could make your life a mess in spite of every advantage. Success does not depend on where you start. If it did, no one would have ever been successful.


Success comes from what you choose to do with whatever you have. It is fully available to anyone who decides to make the effort and the commitment. Whatever the day holds, it also holds the possibility of success and achievement. Whatever the situation may be, there is a way to create real value from it. Choose to see the positive possibilities, and you will. Choose to follow those possibilities, and success takes root.

The opportunity for success is always yours, and so is the responsibility. Decide to do what it takes, and create the success that is your own special destiny. Success is the "Power of Commitment" when we contribute our Time, Talents, and Treasures. Success is up to you. Make a choice to be successful in your career today. We are Professionals Achieving the Extraordinary.

Member of Excellence: I would like to extend an humble thank you to my Chapter President, Dorothy Hart-Manuel, for this honor. I truly am passionate about this organization, and believe wholeheartedly in it's purpose. I have been Membership Chair for two years, and our Chapter (over the last year) has grown by 10+% due to Chapter fervor and appealing programs. I can only be a champion for the things I believe in, and our industry is something I believe in. I would be remiss if I don't thank my committee members, Paulette Jewsome and  Laura McCollum, as well for helping me carry the torch for our organization. Thanks, again.
