2012ISES Membership Has It’s Benefits
When I’m at the monthly ISES events, people say to me “What do you like about being a member?” or “What do you feel the best benefit is?”. Most of the time, when this topic is brought up, I happen to be also in a group conversation with some other great people I’ve met and developed relationships with due to my involvement with ISES. So, when asked these questions, I simply point to the other people that are in our little discussion group at the time and say “I get to see these faces once a month”.
That interaction is invaluable. It’s hard to put into words the benefit of developing real friendships and connections with people who know what you’re going through in this industry in our little C-Town. People who can offer real solutions to any questions or problems that you may be facing. People who truly “get it” and understand the challenges great and small that you face everyday. We share stories, laugh, offer advice, discuss the direction our fair city is going and how exciting it is. We’re Clevelanders which means, we’re tough, loyal, hard-working, and all while representing a warm mid-west spirit. The city is on the rise and ISES Cleveland is growing right along with it!

2012Dear fellow ISES members and friends
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to a new year of our ISES Cleveland chapter. I am so excited to become President of this great city’s chapter of ISES. This past year I have learned so much from being President-Elect. From going to The Special Event in Tampa, FL for the first time, to experiencing the first annual ISES Ohio WOW Awards in Columbus, and taking in as much as I could from our now past president, a great woman, friend and diva, Ms. Deb Hermann. Thank you for your guidance and dedication this past year. It will be hard to fill your shoes!
I am so excited for our new board members to take their positions and bring their new and fresh ideas to the table. I welcome Valerie Falvey, Kirkbrides, Dale McDonald, Digital Photos by Dale and Rachel Yagel, Today’s Bride Magazine and Shows. I also welcome back to the board John Bibbo from Event Source.
We say goodbye and thank you to our wonderful board members who have completed their terms; Barbara Felt, Positively Cleveland, Jim Lottig, Event Source, Candice Lopez, 100th Bomb Group, and Anna-Jeannine Herman, Something New Entertainment. Thank you for your years of service to our board and for making such an impact on our chapter.
To my fellow executive committee, Scott Pickel, President-Elect, Nick Borelli, VP of Communication, Vince Iannaggi, VP of Membership, and Shannon Harris VP of Programs, I look forward to a year of leading our ISES Cleveland chapter and making the city shine. And to our returning board members, Rachael Fuller, Deb Hermann, Mary Frances Ody, and Matt Radicelli, thank you for agreeing to another term on the board of directors. I am so glad you will be a part of this journey with me.
To our members, thank you for your membership and your commitment to the special events industry in Cleveland. I encourage you to make the most of your membership by joining a committee, attending monthly programs, and sharing your ideas on how to make our chapter better. My door is always open to you, so please contact me anytime.
Keep up the great work Cleveland and I look forward to celebrating another successful year of ISES this coming year!
