Shake It Up
Posted by Kevin | Print This Article
The latest issue of Association Meetings has a feature on the annual conference our association puts on, based on an interview they did with myself and Michael Honeycutt. Interestingly, the article originally came about because of my earlier posts here last August and September on meetings and the power of emotion in making them successful.
A few facts are a little off (the name of our organization, for one thing), and the article makes it seem like the whole rejuvenation of our meeting was due to me and Michael, when in fact it was very much a team effort, from our CEO on down. They also talk about a co-location effort between two organizations and do a sidebar on experiences featuring Jim Gilmore, who was a featured speaker at the ASAE conference this past summer.
How many magazine covers does this make for you now Kevin? :>)
Well, that’s two more than I deserve … and why they keep taking my picture, I have no idea. I’ve been accused of an awful lot of things, but being photogenic is not one of them.
Aww, I think it’s a nice picture. I apologize on my colleague’s behalf for the mistakes (and I’ll fix the name of your association in the online version).
Thanks, Sue, and no need to apologize — I wasn’t criticizing, Dave did a great job with the article and we really appreciate it!
I think you need to try harder to get on magazine covers for 2006. That could be your resolution. You’re not getting enough coverage is all I’m saying.
