I just want to wrap up this year with a huge thank you to all of you for allowing me the honor to serve you this past year.  It was a fantastic year filled with great experiences and lessons learned.  I will treasure my time as your President and hope that you were able to benefit from your membership this last year as much as I have mine.
 
I want to say a special thank you to all of you who got involved; who showed up to meetings and events, who sponsored services for those meetings and events, members who shared the benefit of ISES with prospective members, and those who joined committees and task forces.  You all are what ISES is about and why it is the best all encompassing event industry organization in Denver!
 
I would like to thank the ISES Denver Chapter 2009-2010 Board of Directors.  These 13 people have worked tirelessly with energy, motivation, and drive to make it a fantastic year.  I appreciate their volunteerism and commitment to ISES more than they will ever know.
 
The entire membership gives love, appreciation and gratitude to Keith & Freddie Templeton for their 8 years of service that made all the difference in the success and growth of our chapter.  We could not be what we have become without them.  I toast you and send you with the best wishes for the next chapter in your lives.
 
Lastly, I would like you all to know that the new board is going to be amazing, I am so excited to see what fantastic things they have in store for the chapter this year.  We are all very lucky to have an energetic new group and some experienced leaders taking the reigns.
 
All my best,
