An Aggressive Agenda to Move <strong>IACLEA</strong> ForwardContinued from page 15and <strong>No</strong>el March would call this “imagemanagement.” Once we glean this information,we must market <strong>IACLEA</strong> and createa brand recognition unlike any othergroup.To further this goal, I’ve asked DanHutt, our Canadian Regional Director tolead a task force that will include GaryMargolis, the Chief of Police at the Universityof Vermont. This task force willbe chartered to recommend ways to enhanceour marketing prowess so we areclearly identified as the voice of campuspublic safety.PlanningEarlier, I mentioned our strategic planningprocess. We are reaching the end of oursecond strategic plan. Our process hasbeen extremely successful, serving as ourcompass to constantly guide us in theright direction.This year, we will gather a group of<strong>IACLEA</strong> members to develop our latestplan. This plan will guide us to andthrough our 50th anniversary. Beforewe’re able to finish the plan, we’ll needyour help to complete the member needsassessment. This assessment is absolutelyessential to our future.ParticipationAnd finally, I want to come back to ourmembers — you. Today, nearly 35% of<strong>IACLEA</strong> members are professional members.Professional members lead and serveon committees. They are vital membersof our association, yet we have disenfranchisedthem and don’t allow them theright to vote or hold elected office. I thinkit’s time to rethink this governance policy,and we’ve formed a task force to examinebest practices in this area so we canensure that every campus public safetymember of <strong>IACLEA</strong> who wants to contributeis able to do so in very meaningfulways.Clearly, this agenda is ambitious, but itis both doable and necessary. These arethe important ingredients that we mustfocus on to move <strong>IACLEA</strong> to the next level— to move us from good to great.These “Ps,” our people, partnerships,new and existing, our presence on thenational and international stage, our planningfor the future of <strong>IACLEA</strong> so we leaveit well situated for the next generation ofleaders and participation of our membersin the governance of our association, alladd substance to our drive for excellence,our quest for greatness.I know we have dedicated memberswho understand the importance of thework before us. During this week, somany of you have expressed your desireto get on the bus, roll up your sleeves,and work for the betterment of this nobleprofession.
