As Vice-Chairman of the Emerson Exchange Board of Directors and Chairman of the Recruiting Committee, I would like to welcome you to Nashville and the 2011 Exchange.  We are all in for a fabulous week of learning new things, networking and exchanging ideas, and some good Nashville entertainment.

As you might expect, putting on a conference like this requires an enormous amount of effort on the part of a lot of people.  The Emerson Exchange Board of Directors plays a key role in the planning and execution of the conference.  The Conference would not be what it is today without the volunteer efforts of all of the members of the Board.

The Board is always looking for people interested in joining the Board and participating in the planning of the conference.  If you have been an active participant on one or more Exchange Conferences and can get management support for your Board participation, we want you!  Stop by the Emerson Exchange 365 Booth in the Technology Exhibit to get more information.

Once again, Welcome to the 2011 Exchange.  Have a great week!

Jay Colclazier
