Carol,

This makes me feel heart-sick.  You have been the heart and soul, not to mention the glue, that has made the  conference into the professional event we have come to count on.  I certainly know that the years I worked on conference, it meant the world to me that I could count on you to guide us cheerfully and knowledgably through the process.  It certainly won't be the same without you and I know that I will not be the only one to miss you very much.  Thank you for all you have given of yourself to support and lead us over the years.

Sincerely,
Jo

Hello

I have received a number of inquiries from people who are confused about the circumstances of my departure from CSLA as Conference & Exhibits Coordinator, Journal Advertising Manager and Job Hotline Manager.

In May, 2008 the CSLA Board decided to close our Sacramento office and move day-to-day operational responsibilities to a management company - Association Resource Center (ARC) in Folsom, California. This included all of my responsibilities (Conference & Exhibits Coordinator, Advertising Manager, Site Selection and Job Hotline Manager). Effective July 1, 2008, ARC assumed all of these responsibilities.

During the months of seeking the services of a management company, I was consistently reassured that my position was NOT part of this discussion or reorganization. This turned out not to be true. The proposal was made by the "Leadership Committee", led by John McGinnis and Barbara Jeffus. It was not a timeline of my choosing. Contrary to what was stated by a board member at the board meeting, I have never talked about retiring or quitting. Working for CSLA has been the most rewarding experience in my working career.

CSLA offered to extend my job until Dec. 31st but with a drastically changed job description. I declined.

And so, for those years, those experiences, and your respect and friendship, I want to say  "thank-you". I enjoyed working with so many of you and I take away only good memories of our work together. I hope our paths cross again (all my contact information remains the same and stays with me).
