President's Letter
A FOND FAREWELL WITH GREAT APPRECIATION...
A GREETING WITH EXCITEMENT AND ANTICIPATION...
This past year set the stage with a new vision for ISES LA. The individuals on the 2010/2011 Board were hardworking professionals that went above and beyond. They put in countless hours meeting, planning, forecasting, pondering, decision-making and producing to position ISES LA as an association that is relevant and responsive to our membership.
Sincerest thanks to Sue Cook, Fred Willis, Leonard Neil, Jeff Sigler and Erika Breitkopf for their passionate leadership and dedication to ISES this year, and in some cases several years. As these board members step down we can only look forward to seeing them at monthly meetings and hope that they continue their work on committees. As the President, I appreciate every member of the board more than you can imagine...thank you.
The 2011/2012 Board will transition into leadership on July 1, 2011. With great excitement and anticipation, ISES LA welcomes our new Board members:
Danny Bergold | About Entertainment
David Esqueda | Dazian Fabrics
Melissa Navarro | Lawry's
Stacy Ober | Pasadena Convention Center
