President Obama....Obama?
I was sent this video link from the wonderful and talented Karen Kuzsel the other day and I thought you may find it interesting.
Ben Stein, of Win Ben Stein's Money, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford speech writer fame, gave his two cents on how the government is coming down on companies that are trying to have meetings.
This clip is from CBS and I believe there is a commercial before the clip. Please don't think that I or ISES Orlando are endorsing the product you see before the clip. I just thought you would like to see what Ben Stein has to say.

President's Message - WOW, What A Year!
Dear ISES Orlando Members,
Today is an exciting day for our Chapter as our slate of 2009-2010 is officially announced to our membership. I am thrilled about the future of our Chapter!
What an incredible experience it has been to be a member of our board again, and to have the honor of being your President this year. I wanted to take a few moments to reflect on the past year, as we begin to prepare for our transition of leadership.
We began with a strong showing of support at EventWorld. Our Chapter members showed up in full force at the conference in St. Petersburg, and I'll never forget the sea of teal blue T-shirts at the Leadership Luncheon. Many of our members pitched in to support the "Hearts on Fire" event for SEARCH. After such an amazing showing of generosity and spirit, I knew we were in for an incredible year!
First and foremost, I would like to thank our wonderful ISES Orlando members. This has not been an easy year for many of us, and the generosity and dedication that you have demonstrated this year is nothing short of miraculous. For those of you who have attended our meetings, written articles for our newsletter, joined a committee, or reached out to a friend in need, I thank you for supporting our Chapter and ISES as a whole. From our rich heritage of Past Presidents to our newest members, this Chapter contains an amazing group of talented, inspiring, giving, and spirited professionals. Not to mention our strong presence on the International leadership level, with Past President, Patti Coons, CSEP, Immediate Past President Connie Riley, CSEP, and the current ISES International President, David DeLoach, all members of our home Chapter. I am lucky and proud to be a part of this wonderful society!
