A Message from CAM-X President Brad French

[At the recent CAM-X meeting, incoming president Brad French shared this with fellow members in anticipation of his term as president.]

“CAM-X is an amazing organization, and I am proud to be a member of it, let alone the president. The willingness of the membership to share their ideas, their successes, and their failures show how much we all want to better ourselves and our businesses!

“I would like to thank Tom Sheridan for all of his hard work as president this year. I would also like to thank Gary Blair who is leaving the board this year after his third stint on the board and being convention chair three times.

“I look forward to working with Linda Osip and Ida Rowlands, our board, past president Tom, Denise Reynolds, Tim Carwell, Doug Swift, Debbie Iacovone, and our new board member Bill Tucker and vendor board member Steve Newall. We are always looking for committee volunteers, so please volunteer your time; it is well worth it!

“This year I want our theme to be Communicating the Message. I am not talking about what we do every day with our callers and clients; I am referring to how we communicate our message to our team members, to our prospective team members, to our clients, to our prospective clients, to our callers, and to each other. As communication experts, we need to learn how to communicate to all people: the baby boomers, the Gen Xers, the Gen Yers, and the young up-and-coming Gen Zs. With all the new methods of communication that are available, we need to adapt to them for the betterment of our businesses.

“I will keep this brief but if you wish to get a hold of me, Tweet me, email me, Facebook me, BBM me, text me, Linked In messenger me – you can even call me, but please do not fax me!

“Thank you, and have a great night!”
