Message from Chapter Chair - November 2017

Greetings! Summer is over; Fall is upon us and Winter is coming! This will be my final communication to you as Chair of the DC chapter. Let me start by saying that it has been an honor and a privilege to serve this GREAT chapter and the wonderful people in it.

Our journey this year has been full of adventures, new experiences, highs and lows. Through it all this chapter has been supportive, generous, responsive, and caring.

I would be remiss if I did not express my sincere “THANKS” to the outstanding members of the chapter's Board of Directors, to our Chapter Administrator, and to the many committee volunteers for 2017. You all made my role as Chair “easy!”

To the many chapter members that called or emailed me with suggestions, support and encouragement – I again say: “THANK YOU.”

I hope to see you at our upcoming November luncheon which will be our final luncheon of this year. I will be introducing the NEW 2018 Board of Directors. Also: I hope you are all getting excited for Expo Expo in San Antonio later this month. I'll be there – Will You?

Lastly, to our incoming Chair Dede Walsh: I wish you well, and will always be a phone call away.

DC Chapter Rocks!

IAEE Members say...

I am a member of IAEE, and particularly the DC chapter of IAEE, because it is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences I have ever encountered in this Industry. My membership with IAEE has taken me to places that I only dreamed of! Because of IAEE, I have been able to teach CEM classes all over the country and in other parts of the world! The Networking opportunities and the camaraderie of belonging to the DC chapter are HUGE benefits of membership. If I had to prioritize where to spend my “marketing dollars,” my first choice would be with IAEE.

Throughout this journey, the DC chapter has provided me with invaluable networking opportunities and educational experiences thanks to the incredible peers I've encountered. My interactions within and beyond the chapter have significantly contributed to my growth and have played a crucial role in shaping me into the successful professional I am today at Freeman. Freeman has collaborated with the local chapter in various capacities, and we have greatly valued the opportunity to support and work alongside such exceptional leadership. Our shared commitment is to deliver the highest quality service and education to our customers, incorporating the latest trends and data to ensure mutual success.

As someone deeply passionate about the world of exhibitions and events, being a part of IAEE holds immense importance to me. I have been a part of the organization for many years and have made some incredible connections and made some valuable friendships along the way. Because of IAEE, I have had the opportunity to teach globally and to have very special experiences that I will always appreciate. I highly recommend that if you are in the industry, you should be involved with IAEE!
