December 8, 2009 What I learned at our Annual Meeting
I am just back from our Annual Meeting and although I am not sure which number this is – I have been going to meetings/conventions for almost 25 years – it seems I always learn something.
We were in Chicago this year – beautiful city, beautiful hotel – great program, wonderful members.
So what was different – really nothing – an annual meeting is basically the same whether you are a staff member of a big organization or a smaller one. There are lots of details and lots of places you have to be – sometimes all at the same time! Although I have to say this one went really well, except for the fact that I caught a flu bug, but I got over it quickly – thank goodness!
And while it is not new to me – it once again hit home – we are doing this for the member, not us, not our vendors – but the members. If they don’t get something out of the meeting, they won’t come back and that is bad for both of us.
Just my voice
