A Letter from our President
 | Carol Roleder
2011/2012 ISES LA President |
Congratulations to our wonderful Programs Committee for putting on a spectacular November meeting, Meet the Masters! From the Masters themselves to showcase vendors and attendees, everyone had a great time gaining some much needed insight before heading into one of our busiest seasons of the year. Let's face it. When the rest of the world is cruising into the holidays, event planners are ramping up for 18-hour days. By the time we are done, it's January; and we are into a new year with a whole new set of possibilities and potential. So before it gets really crazy, why not tap into some of those possibilities now? With our Mid-Year Membership Drive beginning December 1, 2011 and extending all the way through April 30, 2012, there are numerous ways you can make the most of your ISES investment. And don't forget about The Special Event, taking place in Tampa, FL, in January. What better way to recharge your batteries and hone your event planning skills than to enjoy a week's worth of education and networking with event planners from around the country? So from our ISES family to yours, we wish you the best of Holiday Seasons! Carol Roleder 2011/2012 President, ISES LA
