Having an aggressive strategic plan is good news for you the member. This is our year of transformation. Our new organizati onal structure began with the first meeting of the new board of directors post conference in Denver. As president, I have already experienced the quick responsiveness of a board this size. In today's world, rapid response to issues is necessary to survive and excel as an organization.
Plans are also underway for the first representative assembly meetings in Philadelphia.
Representatives and conference participants will be busy attending open forums, representative assembly meetings and a town meeting. The new board voted on measures to ensure financial growth and stability at the Denver meeting. The analysis will be provided to all board members prior to voting on the project. Executive Director Kevin Dill and I will be developing a business plan this year that will be presented to the board. The board also approved the formation of an ad hoc committee for the development of a Total Quality Management program.
