2013Will I See You on 4/19?
I had the pleasure of attending my first ISES Awards show last year for the Ohio WOW Awards in Columbus. What a wonderful experience! I was new to ISES at the time. And just learning about the organization, and everything it has to offer a member. I have to say, I felt so welcomed. As the new kid on the block, I was introduced to so many people in our industry. It was an amazing event! What a great way to see the talents, and works of the best in Ohio, showcased under one roof. I feel that it truly benefited myself, and my company by giving us the opportunity to become familiar with others in our industry. The Wow Awards not only provided a great networking experience, but an inner connection between these top event professionals. It was amongst one of my top events I have attended so far. It really helped to kick things in gear for me. I have since experienced growth within ISES. I have become a member of the events committee, and a Director At Large for the Cleveland Board. My advise to anyone who is undecided about attending this event is, if you want to grow, and witness what ISES is all about, and has to offer, come get “WOW’d”!

2013Many of the ISES Cleveland Board Members took the opportunity to visit Chicago in January 2013 for the ISES Midwest Retreat, ISES Leadership Summit, and The Special Event. Each attendee is going to share their experice with you on our blog. If you are interested in learning more about TSE 2013, make sure to REGISTER HERE for our TSE In Review Event on February 19th, 2013. Here is Director at Large, Maureeen Patterson’s ISES Leadership & TSE 2013 experience:
Be Educated, Be Inspired, Be Connected
This phrase captures what ISES is all about. This was evident throughout the leadership meetings, retreats, and sessions held before The Special Event. Being new to the board of ISES Cleveland, I learned a lot from other chapters and leaders, had the pleasure of meeting members from across the globe, and have an excitement to help incorporate these ideas into our Cleveland chapter.
Throughout the Midwest retreat, we heard from several other chapters. Some were struggling to keep their ISES chapters going. The chapters who have been thriving offered wonderful ideas and tips on events and programming as well as how to communicate the value of ISES to their area. Also, several international leaders made time to talk with these chapters to help them along the way. Seeing so many people getting involved to help one another was moving. This encouraged open ideas and a sense of community that can be difficult to find in the industry at times.
We learned from these chapters and leaders different ways to keep ISES relevant and beneficial to newcomers as well as seasoned pros – locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. I know the Cleveland chapter is eager to share all of this with you. Join us and be educated, be inspired, be connected!
