It’s been a whirlwind over the past week. It started with the Leadership Summit in Chicago on Thursday and Friday, which had great participant energy and engagement and several inspirational and informative speakers. Friday was also about the Annual Meeting of the Membership and the installation of Directors, Officers and the new Chair, me. Saturday, the new and existing Board members had a day-long meeting, one of about four to five we have during the year. Finally, on Saturday, several of us were off to Toronto for an ICMCI America’s Hub meeting.

Over the next series of blogs (aka, Message from the Chair) I will not only update you as to the results of these events but also to share my vision of the future.

But, first, a big Thanks to the membership. The Board you have elected (more in a later blog) is an extremely well-balanced, thoughtful and diligent one. The individual members of the Board demonstrated a commitment to you, the member of IMC USA, and a belief in both the Institute and, indeed, the management consulting profession as a whole. You elected a great slate of Board members which complement the existing members.

And, second, as we progress on our journey together, reach out to me, or for that matter, any member of the Board, with ideas, suggestions, and possibilities. We are open to the conversations that follow.

The next blog will to put a background on the ‘why I am here.’ Stay tuned.

My best,

David
