stories of their respective journeys, and perhaps the most applicable

quote here is from Matt who stated, “Don’t expect the world to adapt

to you, take ownership and adapt to the world.”

No conference is complete without the celebration of members being

recognized for their scholarship and contributions to the community.

There is not enough space to highlight all award winners, but the

quality of these individuals was high and continues to set the bar for

nominations in 2016. The accomplishments for the Organization as a

whole was impressive, including the launch of the new AASP logo,

which is a culmination of a better understanding of our market and

efforts to create more clarity for our mission. We owe Jack Watson,

along with a team of volunteers, who have worked tirelessly to create

an amazing foundation to the Job Task Analysis. This process has the

potential to be ground breaking for our profession by creating a gold

standard practice of professionalizing the certiication process for

the future growth of our ield, while maintaining the standards and

intent of the CC-AASP credential.

There will be much work happening beyond the conference. Having

contributed to the strategic meetings that will shape the focus for the

next three years, I am extremely excited by the forward thinking and

commitment to maintaining our integrity and investing in our internal

relationships. I am also committed to making a signiicant jump in

the way we understand and interact with our consumers and clients.

Thanks to all involved, and I look forward to the unveiling of these

ideas to the membership in due course.
