Here We Go Again

Well, it has not been quite two months since I last posted to the blog, but it is pretty close.
As I sit here typing today, I realize it has been exactly one year since I came to work here at AENC. The time has truly flown by.
In my first year at AENC I have truly had the chance to experience the life of an association executive through 4 Membership Luncheons, 5 Association Forums, our 2nd Annual Speakers Showcase, our annual Trade Show (another blog topic, indeed), our annual Golf Outing, Annual Meeting, dues renewals, 5 magazines, about 48 editions of our electronic newsletter, the strategic planning process, the annual audit, a tax audit (curiosity of the IRS), the Resource Guide, planning for the Leadership Retreat, the AENC Silent Auction, the nominations and elections process, committee chair and member selection, the Scholarship and Awards process, two ASAE Annual Meetings, planning with two other state societies on a CEO & Volunteer Leader Symposium, the budget process, the launching of our online membership database (where members can register for events and update personal information online), and the pre-planning for our bi-annual Legislative Reception. Is it possible that I left something out? I am sure, but isn't that enough you say?
Well, fact is, its only enough if the members are extremely satisfied with where the organization is.
About two weeks ago, the AENC Leadership meet in Virginia Beach at the Cavalier Hotel where we conducted our Leadership Retreat. Bob Glaser, our president this year, had the vision to lets take the products and services that AENC provides to the membership and look at ways we can make them better. It was a great event and some great information came out of the event. I look forward to working with our staff, our board and all of our committees to take what came out of the event and begin to make some things happen.
