STC Berkeley: February 2006 Monthly Meeting

Our February meeting presents a rare opportunity. On Valentine's Day, STC's executive director, Susan Burton, is coming to Berkeley for her only Northern California chapter visit. She will tell us about the STC Board's six strategic objectives and about the many STC members who have volunteered to help. Susan has been travelling around the country listening to the concerns of STC members. This is our chance to tell her what we think and to hear what she has to say.

Susan has managed associations for a living for 30 years. She became our executive director in August, and she has been moving fast since then. Under her leadership, STC is evolving into a flexible and responsive association that can continue to meet the needs of our members and our profession for many years to come.

Members of other chapters are always welcome at our meetings, but this time we especially encourage STC members from all over the area to join us in welcoming STC's executive director, Susan Burton.

Speaker:

Susan Burton

Susan has a 30-year track record of association management successes, as president and CEO of the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA), CEO of the Vision Council of America (VCA), and vice president of marketing for ADAPSO (the computer software and services association).
