Letter from the Symposium Chair
On behalf of the IAHU Board of Directors, thank you for your registration for this event and for your ongoing support of our professional association. Taking an active role with IAHU makes you among the top 10% in our industry!
Have you ever heard the phrase “It’s it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey”? What does that really mean for each of us—aren’t tough times just tough? I was personally touched by the book ‘Chop Wood Carry Water’ which perfectly describes how to fall in love with the process and embrace the journey over reaching the destination.
I truly believe that 2020 is becoming a collective journey to greatness. This year’s keynote curriculum stems from the inspiration from this book and will serve as the core message to what we hope will be a memorable and powerful learning experience for each of you. Whether we want to embrace this year or not, we must trust the process and remember that GREATNESS IS NOT FOR THE CHOSEN FEW, BUT FOR THE FEW WHO CHOOSE!
We look forward to kicking off our first-ever virtual conference experience with you! Again, thank you for the investment of your time and resources, and THANK YOU for choosing IAHU.
Tracy Hitchcock
Chairperson, 2020 IAHU Virtual Symposium & CEC Series
Your 2020 Symposium Planning Committee: Casandra Mueller (BASE), Tracy Hitchcock (Capitol Benefits Group), Lynn Schreder (KHI Solutions), Marcie Strouse (Capitol Benefits Group) & James West (NCMIC / Professional Solutions).
