Acronym

We’ve started to enter the countdown for this year’s Annual Meeting in San Diego—and we’re excited to announce to you the team of volunteer guest bloggers who have agreed to share their thoughts on what they learn and experience at the conference. I’m really looking forward to seeing the meeting through their eyes.

This year’s guest bloggers for the Annual Meeting will be:

- Patti Digh, a speaker, writer, and blogger (as well as a former association executive), who will be one of the experts participating in our opening general session on workforce diversity and inclusion

- Lindy Dreyer of the Association Marketing Springboard blog

- Miriam Miller, director of membership for the United Fresh Produce Association

- Ladd Smith, president of the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials

- Thomas Stefaniak, executive director of the Unclaimed Property Professionals Organization

- Kevin Whorton, principal of Whorton Marketing and Research

- And last but not least, the ACerS staff team, who will be blogging as a collective entity; this is something we haven’t tried before on Acronym, but I think it’s going to be a very interesting look at how a staff team can learn collectively during an event like the Annual Meeting. The ACerS bloggers will include Executive Director Scott Steen (who was also one of the founders of Acronym), Megan Mahan, Director of Marketing and Member Services, Liz Roehl, Meeting Planner, Laura Vermilya, Director of Operations, and Peter Wray, Director of Communications.

Welcome to all of our Annual Meeting guest bloggers! We're looking forward to having you with us.
