As 2023 draws to a close, I want to reflect on all we’ve accomplished this year and share what’s to come in 2024. Coming out of COVID has created a fundamental shift in the way we deliver membership value. And now, as we get ready to turn the calendar to 2024, we would not be able to step so confidently into the future without your trust, loyalty, and support. And for that, the entire ISEE team and I are extremely grateful.
During 2023 you voted on important updates and revisions to the ISEE Constitution enabling this living document to provide an important roadmap and guidelines to direct our work now and into the future.
When the ATF announced its plans to update the Orangebook, they reached out to ISEE for input and feedback. Our members turned out and gave important insight and comments which in turn we aggregated together and provided to the ATF. We are proud of the strong relationship we have with the ATF and are excited that they will once again be part of our Regulatory Panel Discussion at the 2024 ISEE Annual Conference.
This year, we made significant additions to the upcoming 2024 ISEE Annual Conference including adding paper presentations, poster sessions, doubling the number of available training hours, creating networking opportunities, and we nearly tripling the number of meeting rooms available for member companies. We increased the square footage of our exhibit hall and the show floor sold out again with more companies showcasing their products and services than the previous year.
As a natural next step, we are adding new content in 2024. Whether it is presentations captured from the Annual Conference, newly created online training and webinars, new resources for you to download, or live online meetings, we will provide timely resources to address your needs.
Finally, 2024 membership cards will be mailed out at the end of January or early February based on ISEE members who renewed before December 31, 2023. If you haven’t renewed yet, you can do so by clicking here. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to Dawn Tullis, ISEE’s Membership Coordinator at tullis@isee.org.
Thank you again for your membership in the ISEE. On behalf of the entire staff, we wish you a safe holiday season and the safest New Year.
Sincerely,
Steve Shivak, MS, CAE
Executive Director
