Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all! I feel the power of opportunities that await all who seek growth and change. 2010 is going to be a great year of opportunity for the Speaking & Training Industry. I believe for those professional speakers, trainers and consultants that are ready and willing to make the necessary changes in their business and offer services that will exceed their client’s expectations are going to have a fantastic year.

It is the season for change, improvement, growth and opportunity to make a difference. Organizations today are seeking the best of the best and it’s our year to give them what they want. All of us at NSA Wisconsin are here to help you have a great year in 2010, and we are going to put together an excellent agenda for professional growth, networking, and business tools for your business development. Some say that the past year has been a little rocky. I say it’s just a time to reflect and get better at the things we do best. Spring has always followed winter as long as I can remember; meaning things only get better for those that look for the good!

Your NSA Wisconsin Leadership Team is working day and night looking for the best speakers to give you their best in 2010 with our professional development and networking events. My mission as your president is to help lead the way in finding ways to add value to your business growth. Eliz Greene is leading the development of our Speaker U program that is designed to help Candidate Members build their speaking business and work towards NSA’s “Professional Speakers” designation.

For those of you that are visiting our website seeking professional speakers, trainers and consultants you have arrived at the only place to find the right professional to help you with your next conference. Don’t hesitate booking our professionals for your next event. Please take the time to check our Professionals out, visit our members and link right to their websites.

I look forward to meeting you and listening to what you want from your NSA Wisconsin Chapter in 2010 and beyond. Contact any of your chapter leadership with your ideas, and suggestions at anytime, the door is open. Thank you for your membership, commitment to excellence, and the desire to make a
