This past weekend, the CCAA Executive Council met to formulate the Strategic Plan for our association.  The last time the Council had met was in 2006.

With the advance work that was done in the external issues committee, the internal issues committee, and the steering committee, we were able to formulate strategies, discuss tactics and handle some executive council business before adjourning.

I would like to thank the Council for their commitment of time and talent, their honest, thought-out ideas and proposals and their professionalism.  It is because of those traits that we were able to achieve our goals for the weekend.

We also had the CLLA President, Beau Hays, the EVP, Oliver Yandle and the next President-elect, Jeff Schatzman among us.  The league leadership gained insight of the workings of the Council and the leadership’s presence also gave the Council an opportunity to address issues that had caused consternation.  I am certainly pleased how the council and league leadership worked together productively.

Shortly, the CCAA will publish its Strategic Plan, along with the proposed tactics and assignments to committees/individuals. 

My thanks also goes out to CCAA Council member, Bruce Godwin, whose assistance in planning the meeting in his home state was so helpful and to Meg Scotty, Chair of our association for running an efficient meeting and keeping us on point.

Best regards,

Annette
