Our conference last week was a true success — with high attendance, happy attendees, and huge accolades all around. I’m privileged to work with many colleagues that really know how to pull out all the stops in providing customer service and put on a first-class show. We really have tremendous talent and capability at the ACCA national office.

Like many association folks, I’m left drained, but exhilarated, by our annual meeting. It’s our signature event and we’re one of the lucky groups who have seen our conference and expo grow exponentially over the last few years, partly because we never rest on our laurels. We’re already figuring out ways to change for the 2006 show and try new things. We don’t want our attendees to get bored (and we don’t want to get bored, either). There’s an old line that says that success is merely proof that you’re pretty good at what worked yesterday.

Now, of course, it’s back to the many projects piling up that get put on hiatus each year during the show after taking a few days off to recharge batteries. Hopefully, I’ll also have time to post some more thoughts here, as well.
