With the full-force of 100% in attendance, the LMA board met,
January 16 & 17, in Las Vegas, to discuss projects and to plan for the 2013
term. Chairman of the Board John Humenik opened the two-day gathering with
welcoming remarks after which board member Brandon Erlacher presented a review
of the board and staff’s Myers-Briggs type indicator assessment. (Fortunately,
the personality make-up of the board was overwhelming suited for its tasks.) Brandishing
a unique talking-stick, which bestowed its recipient with powers of the floor,
Erlacher guided the group through a SWOT analysis and an evaluation of
responses from the recent members’ survey. President Nancy Lane
reviewed the top projects and priorities for LMA.
The second day was centered on a dialogue, and an outline, for
positioning LMA for the future. Fellow board member Matt Coen and Treasurer Gordon
Borrell walked everyone through this lengthy visioning and strategy process. An
invigorating exchange of ideas and opinions compelled the group to contemplate
a wide range of strategic and tactical options. The board and staff completed the
meeting with high expectations, along with a solid plan, for securing LMA’s
unique position for its members as the most innovative, educational and inspiring
of media associations.
