Dear Members,
It's time to look ahead and move forward! During this busy season of ending out the year and celebrating the holidays, we also focus on new intentions for 2010. I want CBODN to be part of your plans for career and professional development.
The volunteer leaders on the CBODN board have been working hard to take our professional organization to the next level. In recent months we have delivered spectacular events, including programs with Scott Eblin, Amy Andrews, and Geoff Bellman. We plan to sustain this level of programming into next year with top-notch evening programs and our annual conference.
The 2010 conference will be held on April 30th in a new venue this year - AED (Academy for Educational Development) near Dupont Circle - to accommodate more participants. Our keynote speaker will be Diana Whitney, pioneering thought leader in the realms of Appreciative Inquiry and Positive Change. This premiere event is preceded by February's program with Glenda Eoyang, author and scholar-practitioner in the area of self-organizing systems and complexity theory in the field of OD.
Stay tuned for announcements and innovations as we move into 2010. Our mid-year board retreat in January will center on enhancing the value of membership. We will turn our attention to improving services, including our job postings and consultant directory, as well as strengthening outreach and operations. We invite you to voice your input, identify your needs, and express your interests when we launch our annual member survey. Let's celebrate CBODN's 25th year by looking ahead and imagining the next 25!
Happy Holidays,
Kathryn Gaines
