To TAMM Friends & Supporters...                   December 21, 2009

As 2009 comes to a close, we want to thank you for your unselfish and dedicated support of TAMM this year and in the past. When we first put the organization together back in 2003, we knew it would be a challenging endeavor. It has been through the support of friends like you, we were able to conduct some very meaningful conferences, maintain a website and produce a newsletter over the last six years. Even more importantly, we became the network that helped establish many meaningful relations that continue today.

With all of the challenges facing our industry right now, we are finding it even more difficult to maintain the momentum going forward. The strict travel and meeting restrictions that remain in place with many companies, cast serious doubt about the ability to conduct a meaningful conference this coming spring. Budgets remain closed to sponsorships and memberships. While the many friendships remain in place, practicality leads our thinking.

Therefore, the TAMM Board of Directors has voted to suspend operations and to properly and professionally begin the process of shutting TAMM down. The last newsletter has been published and posted on the website, and the site will be closed in a few days. 

It is only through support from good friends like you that we have been able to accomplish what we did over these past years, and we thank you again. If conditions change, we would like to be able to come back to you in the future. But for now, this is deemed the best, most practical course. Thank you again and our very best wishes in the years ahead.
