Hello fellow members and attendees at IMA's 90th annual conference and exposition in Denver starting with pre-conference workshops on Saturday (is that the longest hello intro you have ever seen)??
I can't tell you how energizing it is this time of year. Talking with fellow members, hearing their proactive ideas on how to advance the profession and grow the association, and just catching up on the kids, family and more. That is what a community is all about.
We are excited about this year's event, with wonderful speakers and great learning and networking opportunities for all. Take advantage. Don't be shy. Meet someone new, establish a life-long relationship.
And of course, use our new social networking capability - LinkUp IMA - "powered by members" - to share your thoughts real time. We built this capability in real time, using one of the best vendors in the business, so take advantage! Be candid, be inspirational, be aspirational, be whatever you want to be - just "be" and engage!
Looking forward to seeing you all in Denver.
Jeff
