GREETINGS ADTA NATION!
As I write this, I am on Delta
Airlines 30-something thousand feet over who knows where en route from
Minneapolis to Boston. Karen and I are heading home from the ADTA Mid-year
Executive Council [EC] Meeting at Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel,
November 6 – 9, 2014.
What a great EC meeting!
I am so proud of our EC … first-class
lawyers who sacrifice their valuable time for the good of all ADTA members. We
scrapped our usual format and, after taking care of some "business,"
went to break-out sessions with a focus on our committees. What should they do?
How should they do it? How should our committees be structured? And what should
the EC's role be in this process? How can ADTA create a culture of
accountability to develop and maintain excellent member services as ADTA grows
into the future?
On Friday night, our final
evening together, I enjoyed watching Tom Hurney overcome his fear of heights as
we ascended three thousand or so feet up the side of Grouse Mountain on the
gondola. In front of us was a sparkling nighttime
panoramic view of Vancouver. There is a
delightful gourmet restaurant at the top of the mountain which was the venue
for our final night EC dinner. Superb food, great company, ADTA Spirit! Grouse Mountain will be a part of our
dine-around at the Annual Meeting. Simply spectacular! You won't want
to miss it!
I love Vancouver's Fairmont
Pacific Rim Hotel for our 2014 Annual Meeting – located in the middle of
everything that Vancouver has to offer.
It reminds me a lot of our 2010 Boston meeting at the Copley
Marriott...city energy, a great harbor (but even better - at the Pacific Rim
the harbor is literally across the street), friendly people, walking distance
to everything,. From the moment you enter the hotel lobby, you can feel a
sizzle that you just want to be a part of!
This is going to be a GREAT annual meeting!!
This is going to be a GREAT annual meeting!!
I can't wait to see you all there
next April 22 – 26, 2014!
We made progress at the
2013 ADTA Mid-year EC meeting. ADTA
leadership is firmly committed to working toward progress that is consistent with
our great ADTA Tradition. The only missing ingredient
is YOU – we need your help … please let
me, Peggy Schultz, or any one of our officers or other EC members know if you have
an interest in volunteering for service in the ADTA. We will find a place to put
your time and talents to the best use for the benefit of our members. Please don’t
be shy. Let us know!
Wishing you and your Families a
peaceful and warm Holiday Season!
The Tradition of Excellence
continues!
