2008 Convention

pwolf66
All, I'm thinking about attending convention in three weeks. My reasons are several but most important is that I want to become more involved in USMS and I figure the best way to find out how/what/when/where is to attend convention. Does this make sense? Would it be worthwhile? Paul

  • Worth reading, IMO: www.usms.org/.../actionplan.pdf Any comments? Read it last night and was very impressed. Rob did an outstanding job on this document and I will forward it to my Board members to read. This is a solid action plan that will enable USMS to flourish in the years ahead. The only weakness I see is with sponsors. For real value, there should be exclusivity for a given product/service. Having Agon and Blue Seventy join Speedo and Tyr is not the best move IMHO. Choose one and promote the heck out of them, that would be my suggestion. Also, I would rather have a bunch of smaller sponsors that offer a wide range of services. Maybe a combination like: Delta Best Western Hertz (in place) Liberty Mutual (in place) Verizon Subway Land's End LA Fitness Starbucks DirecTV etc. But back to the point, this was an outstanding document that will serve as an excellent starting point for taking action. I certainly hope that USMS supports Rob in his efforts because we need this if we are to remain relevant.
