A few years ago, I was talking to a colleague about ASAE when the topic of the CAE came up. When asked if I was going to sit for the exam, I said no. At the time, I didn’t feel I needed to. I didn’t think it would enhance my career. I saw myself as a lobbyist, not an association executive. I’ve had similar conversations with a few of my government relations colleagues who question their need to earn the CAE.

The 2011 SLA Board of Directors election will begin on September 8 and run through September 29. I trust you will take the time to review the candidate's views, get educated on their goals, and then cast your ballot. It will only take about five minutes to mark the ballot. Of course, voting is not required in a legal sense—but hopefully you feel it’s your civic duty as an active SLA member.

I bought an iPad a couple of months ago. I bought the Apple hype. I am a Blackberry person. As a one person association shop, my Blackberry allows me to conduct business when I am away from my office. It is a great email machine, but a horrible reader. But the iPad has won a place in my repertoire. It allows me to easily carry all the documents I need with me, has a smooth web browser, and is a great reader.

skip to main | skip to sidebar. Thursday, September 9, 2010. Generational Herd Mentalities. A little while ago, Neil Howe called attention on his blog to a New York Times feature story about a 24-year-old Millennial who, even amidst the Great Recession, is living at home and turning down $40K job offers until just the right opportunity comes along. As Howe notes: The story lit up a firestorm of reader responses: no less than 1,487 comments thus far, and much larger echoes on the blogosphere.
