Comments on: AMA International Leadership Summit http://columbusama.org/2009/04/23/ama-international-leadership-summit/ Columbus Chapter of the American Marketing Association Mon, 14 Jun 2010 10:50:01 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Nick Iannitto http://columbusama.org/2009/04/23/ama-international-leadership-summit/#comment-12 Nick Iannitto Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:15:01 +0000 http://columbusama.org/?p=229#comment-12 I'm so glad I picked people that are smarter than me to lead their respective committees. A total of seven of us represented our Columbus Chapter and we all learned volumes, especially me. Some of the group session were classed into how big your chapter was and since we were promoted to group 3 from group 4, we got to sit in at the big kids table. At first it was surreal hearing the issues of chapters with 1100 or 850 members and boards up to 20-40 people. Now that I digest it I finally got it. This is where Columbus will be some day, not next year, but some day we're going to be one of the big kids. With the dedication of the board starting in July, we're definitely paving the way for greatness. I've never been prouder of the six members that came with me...truth be told I get smarter just being in the room with them!!! If you don't believe me...become a member and see for yourself...you won't regret it and will only prosper from it.

It was nice to look back on your thoughts today now that we are all home. I, for one, am stoked! Our team had so much energy, insight and drive. I think we will really be making some major marks this year in professional development and enhancing our club benefits/offerings. Nancy's flight was delayed three times - we caught up with her when our flight home was delayed to 8:30 pm! Many thanks to my roomie, Jamie Falcon, for the friendship and fun! To Keri for a great walking tour of Chi-town, to Nick for a really funny social media presentation (our chapter kicks butt and takes names!!), to Paul for tagging with us for the impromptu tweetup, to Nancy for keeping the weekend real and to DJ Rubinstein who kept us all spinning! Stay posted for outtakes and fun from the conference - Martin Poston will help edit and put together a small clip real for us.
