News and Events
Hello Region 6!
The regional meeting October 6 - 7 in Ames, Iowa, was a big success! Members from three of the four states in the region were in attendance. Valuable roundtable discussions were had about leveraging partnerships with your local CVB and processes for booking events. ACCED-I Board Member, Dan Gette, spoke about ways to make the most of your ACCED-I membership. We concluded the first day with dinner in a private room atop a building with panoramic views of Ames and the Iowa State University campus. Our special guest at the casual dinner was a Nintendo Wii, which kept us all entertained throughout the evening. See below for a video of our beloved Dan Gette "cow riding"! Day two consisted of an informative presentation about risk management and the business meeting. ACCED-I is in great shape as an Association and we're gearing up for 2010 members by 2010! Special thanks to the ISU staff that put together a great meeting!
Our region is seeing growing momentum and involvement at all levels and it's time for us to continue this trend by electing a new regional director-elect to take Julie's spot when she transitions into the regional director position. For obvious reasons Julie and I can't be involved in this process, so one of our new members, Jana Ammon from Creighton University, has volunteered to conduct this process. In the coming weeks you'll be receiving more information from Jana about nominations and the election process. Please strongly consider those from our region who could serve in this capacity and keep Region 6 moving in the right direction!
Here's to a great fall!
Below is the video of ACCED-I Board Member Dan Gette "riding a cow" on the Wii video game.
