Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year 2010!
There are only 11 more months to go until year-end reports. That seems so far away ... but just like last year, time is going to fly. Do you have a wish list for what you are going to accomplish this year? Have you pinpointed your strengths and weaknesses? Have you developed any new strategies to solve any problems you may be having? Do you have a plan?
French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery said, "A goal without a plan is just a wish."
It is always our goal at the ADIA to help you develop a plan that works. We hope during the course of the year to bring you articles, webinars, and symposiums that help you achieve your goals. This month we would like to highlight our upcoming 2½-day symposia in New Orleans, April 22-24, during Jazz Fest. We are also incorporating Lunch ‘n’ Learn sessions into our days so you have a chance to speak one-on-one with our experts. We hope that you can join us for an incredible educational lineup and fun during the fest!
We are also encouraging members to go to the Members' Only section and use the ADIA Forum. We have posted a few questions for discussion, but really want to give you the opportunity to share thoughts and ideas.
As always, we look forward to your ideas and contributions.
Lynn Mortilla
Executive Director, ADIA
