The Race for the Finish Line (Wish I Could Slow it Down!)
by Jason Lyon
While it was only a few weeks ago that our 90th conference came to a close in New Orleans; it feels like a distant fond memory. Like the CHART presidents before me, I have looked forward to this time more than once over the past year, yet, with extremely mixed emotions. While I’m excited for what this year holds for our organization, the little time I have left to serve you on the board slapped me in the face like none other when Patrick stepped down. Now in my fifth year on the board, the time has raced by like a NASCAR competitor zooming towards the finish line.

I'm With Them!
by Lisa Marovec
After the recent CHART conference in New Orleans, Patrick Yearout, Jason Lyon, and I went on a tour of the Garden District. In preparation for the two-hour walk in the blazing heat, we stopped off at a coffee shop for bottled water.
Patrick was waiting to pay for our three bottles of water when a server asked for my order. Before I could answer that I was taken care of, Patrick exclaimed, rather enthusiastically I might add, “She’s with us!” A simple statement that spoke volumes and touched my heart.

I could only think, “Yes Patrick and Jason, I most certainly am with you!” I am eternally grateful to have you and so many other CHART members as lifelong friends.
Recently, CHART has promoted a “Why I CHART” campaign that tells real stories of member and member company transformation due to their involvement with CHART. As a marketing professional, I suppose I could be promoting a tangible product like cheese for Kraft Foods, but my true delight is to promote the stories of the people of CHART, the important work that you all do, and our amazingly inclusive, supportive, and sharing association.
