Cheryl Hampton 2018 NADOA President
It seems like this year has flown by! It’s hard to believe that the holidays are just around the corner and my year as NADOA President will be ending. We’ve had a very successful year topped off by a great Institute in Nashville. This was our largest attendance at Institute since we were in Chicago in 2014. I would like to thank all who attended, and thank the Institute Committee, headed up by Co-Chairs Luanne Johnson and Lucretia Jones, for all the hard work they did to make Institute amazing! You all ROCK! Your NADOA Board worked hard this year and some of the association’s 2018 accomplishments are: • NADOA gave away three full scholarships to NADOA members to attend Institute. • We currently have 1204 Active members and we added 192 NEW members this year. • We continued to add to our social media accounts: Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. If you haven’t joined any of those, please do so as we also include local association information. • NADOA will make a profit this year. • We held 4 Webinars in 2018 and the attendance for them has increased. • A regional seminar was held in New Braunfels, TX and was very successful. The turnout from the San Antonio and Austin areas was great. I would like to encourage each of you to not only join NADOA next year, but to reach out to your co-workers who are not members and let them know the benefits of being a member of NADOA. So many new people are entering our industry and many of them know nothing about our organization. We want to keep NADOA growing and our members are our best publicists! I would also like to thank you all for allowing me to be your 2018 President. I have met so many wonderful people and have made so many good friends through this organization. I also thank the 2018 Board for their hard work and for working with me this year to make it successful. It was my pleasure to work with all of you.
I want to leave you with two things: In the words of George Strait, “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind” – start planning now for the 2019 NADOA Institute!!! And in the words
of Bob Hope, thanks for the memories!
