Winter 2010
Greetings to one and all. I am hoping that we will see each other in person at the Winter Conference on January 22 through June 24, 2010 in Worthington, Ohio.
First of all, I wish to thank all that stepped up and filled in for me at the Fall 2009 conference. Bill and I were unable to be there as we were attending our Daughter's (Niki) wedding in Georgia. We tried to get them to postpone it for a week or so, but her new husband is a member of the U.S. Army and his could deploy [to the Gulf] on a moment's notice, so they obviously were reluctant to wait.
To you who experience "issues" at the past conference, rest assured that we have addressed those problems and will not be giving them any future opportunity to repeat [them]. Believe me when I say that not at anytime, during the pre-conference planning, were those issues present. Had they been known in advance, other arrangements would had been made and problems avoided. Please feel free to seek me out, one on one, to discuss the problems you encountered and I will share what we did in response. You have my assurance that it will not happen again.
We have put together what I feel is a pretty diverse and interesting set of classes and speakers. Some new and some “old friends” of OAEMS will be presenting the sessions.
In this time of economic belt tightening, your help is needed more than ever. We are dedicated to keeping services high and costs low, but we need your help. Please, tell your friends, urge your department to participate in the Association and invite sponsors. I realize that numerous departments have obtained site certifications, but can they provide the vast and varying education sources offered by OAEMS? Expand your knowledge while expanding our membership.
We are working with several sites for upcoming conferences including a great location for next summer that could bring in a lot of new vendors and exhibitors. Keep your eye on the website for updates.
Make sure you let our vendors and speakers know how much we appreciate their support of OAEMS.
As always, I am looking forward to seeing as many of my friends as possible at the conference.
Stay Safe!
Respectfully,
Pat Roberts
