I first want to thank all of you who made the trek (no pun intended) to Hammock Beach in FL.  It was great to see so many familiar faces, and to meet the nearly 95 first time attendees!  I hope that you were able to take away with you; wisdom, best practices, and tools to help you work smarter.  Please be sure to share with your co-workers what you have learned.  There is nothing more powerful than knowledge, and sharing it is a gift. 

I would also like to echo Jen’s words from her general session.  “Practice what the session leaders preach-don’t rush back to the office and immediately bury yourself in emails and deadlines.”  There is nothing better to help retain information that you’ve just learned than to use it immediately.

One further request; create a trip report for your Manager, GM or CEO.  Show them the value there is in the Host Users Conference.  Make sure that they create the budget line item to ensure that you can come to the conference in 2010!

For those of you who weren’t able to join us this year, we look forward to welcoming you to Resort at Squaw Creek in Lake Tahoe, CA. Sunday, October 31^st to Thursday, November 4^th, 2010.

The board looks forward to the upcoming year and sharing with you, the strategic objectives we will be setting during our January meeting.

Best,

Heidi Rumble-Bassett
