    Where has the year gone?  It seems like just a few minutes ago that I was introducing myself as the 2013 GOOD Network President.  

    Here we are, well into November.  And what a year it has been!  Record numbers in our membership.  Large and energetic attendance at our meetings.  Good, engaging, compelling speakers, including our very own at the June Best Practices session.  More volunteering than ever to help in leadership roles with an eye on 2014.  Classy, quality people throughout the GOOD Network.  

    It has been great to be along for the ride.  Those of you who know me (and by now, I think that's most of you!) know that I have enjoyed being your President.  In fact, it has been so much fun that I won't go away in 2014.  I look forward to passing the baton to co-presidents Laura Newcomer and Carol Anderson.  They bring with them experience and insight that can only build upon what has already been done.  And they will have a lot of help!

    I can't avoid mentioning our wonderful hosts, those at Goodwill who make our meetings run so smoothly in the terrific facility they provide for us.  I look forward to seeing all of you there for networking, fellowship, and Scott Tannenbaum on December 13.

    PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

    As we near the end of the third quarter of 2013, it is a time to look forward. 

    We look forward to our October 11 meeting, which will feature Listening expert Rick Bommelje.  Most of us are better talkers and additional insight there is not what we need.  But listening?  Most individuals, groups, and organizations are not where they should be in that arena.  I know that I will gain insight from the meeting, and I believe many of you will as well. 

    We also look forward to hearing from Organizational Effectiveness expert Scott Tannenbaum at our December 13 meeting.   And 2014 promises yet more top-flight speakers.  All this, of course, is coupled with more networking with an ever-increasing number of GOOD Network members! 

    We look forward to distributing our annual Survey to make sure we are doing the right things and avoiding the wrong ones.  The Survey's results also help us steer the GOOD Network toward topics, events, and ways of doing things that you tell us you want.

    We look forward to revamping our Leadership Team structure and communication capabilities in order to better serve all network members.  You will hear more about this soon.

    Most of all, I look forward to seeing all of you again on October 11!  

    Pat Brown
