Are Your Bags Packed?

The Annual Meeting begins in four days. I fly to Jacksonville tomorrow morning, and the Central Office staff arrives today. Hopefully many of you, the almost 1,000 registrants, are preparing for the Annual Meeting. Amidst the packing (for warmer weather) and cramming some Silent Auction items in your suitcase, I hope you take a few moments to intentionally think about the professional development experience that awaits you.

Dan Wrona of RISE Partnerships prepared some suggestions for Annual Meeting attendees, and since I think they are spot on, I am listing the exact document here.

Another thought I will share with you comes from the blog of Jeffrey Cufade, called Idea Architects. One blogger can share with another, right? He simply asks this question: "I could achieve better results in my job if I knew how to/was more capable of _____________."

Think intentionally about that statement and take a minute to review the program book that is in the blog post below this one. You can craft an exceptional professional development experience that will be worth those hard earned professional development dollars.

My next post will be from Jacksonville! And for any AFA members not fortunate enough to attend, I hope to make the blog posts during the Annual Meeting an accurate reflection of the day's events.
