The Leadership and Vision of Two Impactful Leaders Has Enabled Wnet's Success
Presentation by Kelly Tufts, Wnet President-Elect and Vice President, Field Talent, Discover
On behalf of the Board of Directors, our Wnet staff, our partners, and thousands of members, I would like to say a special thanks to Joan Herbig, our immediate past president, and Mary Uslander, our current president.
Let me begin first with Joan. When Joan began her presidency on January 1, 2020, who could have imagined the year ahead? Joan’s leadership, ability to manage to our long-term vision while guiding all of us through the immediate needs and changes necessary to enable are future are a key reason why we are fortunate to be here together today. During 2020, not only did we increase our membership while shifting to digital events, but we also completed a critical part of our vision to become self-managed through the hiring of our first CEO, Wendy Holliday. Thank you, Joan!
Now to Mary, our current president. As Mary began her presidency earlier this year, she prepared all of us to navigate a year full of ambiguity, but one where we would continue to make investments for our future. Most notably, we increased our membership again, evolved events to hybrid when possible, conducted a thorough study to learn more from our members about how we can meet their needs given so many changes to how and where we work, and welcomed new team members to our staff that would set us up with the capabilities and skills to enable our future. Thank you, Mary!
