We just completed the AASV Program Planning Committee meeting for the 2019 AASV Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL. The group gathered was energetic, thoughtful, informed and excited. I think they have the start to a fantastic meeting. It reminded me of a quote from Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric. When asked about his standard for a successful meeting, he said, "we bring together the best ideas – turning the meetings of our top managers into intellectual orgies."
