Wednesday in Tally

Linda left early this morning to fly to Portland to spend a couple of weeks with her son, daughter-in-law and their 2 kids. Linda loves her grandchildren!

I had a great lunch today with Kris Dake, our Wachovia banker for the Association. We discussed the economy, the business and housing climate in Tallahassee, and other general business matters. He hosted lunch at Kool Beanz, a great local restaurant, eclectic décor and menu, and very generous portions.

This afternoon, I met with Judy Gray, President & CEO of the Florida Society of Association Executives. The Florida Society of Association Executives' misssion: to serves its members and advances the association profession through a community of knowledge sharing, education, advocacy and business modeling. They offer various opportunities to meet with other Association Executives throughout the year. Judy has an impressive resume, leading chambers of commerce, associations, lobbying groups, and telecommunications companies. She’s a “go-to” person, and offered extraordinary insights into association management.
