GLACUHO State Update December 5, 2016

[Illinois Delegate]

Happy Monday, Illinois! It was AMAZING to get to meet so many of you at the Annual Conference in Cincinnati. A plethora of fantastic conversations were started, and I hope we can continue to converse about the issues our institutions are facing.  If you were not able to attend the conference or if you were not able to attend every program that interested you, make sure to visit the GLACUHO website to gain access to the program session materials our presenters have uploaded.  All the best,         Greetings, GLACUHO! Thank you to those who were able to join us for the 45th Annual Conference in Cincinnati in November. It was a great conference with excellent program sessions, exhibitors, and opportunities for networking. I hope you enjoyed the conference as much as UC enjoyed hosting. Though November is over, it is typically a time to reflect on the things in which we are thankful. With the recent events at Ohio State University, I’m sure I’m not alone in being thankful that our colleagues are safe and that the student injuries were minimal. I hope the road to healing for the OSU community is a quick one. I am excited about how the GLACUHO year is beginning, as we have our task forces in place who will be tackling the goals and tasks of year two of our strategic plan. I look forward to the leaders guiding the task forces and the work that will come from the groups. Committee placement will be out soon and I am looking forward to the work of our committees in the coming year. It’s a really exciting time to be actively engaged in GLACUHO. If you have ideas for GLACUHO or for the Board to consider, or would just like to have a conversation with me, please reach out. I’d be happy to hear from you.
