PRESIDENT’S LETTER
December 2024

Season’s Greetings, OBI! 

As we approach the close of another remarkable year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our collective accomplishments, express my gratitude to all who volunteer to make OBI work and for all of our members’ continued dedication to this wonderful organization I have been proud to lead the last 3 years. Each of your contributions make OBI special and successful. The holiday season is a time of reflection, celebration, and anticipation of new opportunities.

2024: Our Year in Review

  • OBI held it’s first in person conference planned remotely without a local planning committee
  • OBI introduced Lunch and Learn Webinars; an added training benefit between conferences for all members

Looking Ahead to (and through) 2025:

 As we enter the new year, my focus remains on providing as many many benefits and resources to support you in excelling in your roles. I also want to look beyond 2025 to ensure future success of OBI through the natural succession of our board and committees. Here is a sneak peek at what’s coming:

  • Annual Conference: Save the date for our 2025 Nashville Conference September 29 – October 2.

This conference will be the first OBI Conference to be held outside of a hotel conference facility. The classroom portions of the conference will be held at Spark: Lipscomb University's Idea Center in Downtown Nashville. We will also have the opportunity to host our banquet at a local restaurant or event space.

  • 2025 Elections are a full board election creating several opportunities for member involvement in leadership roles that will lead and shape OBI for years to come.

Holiday Wishes:

During this festive season, I encourage you to take time to recharge and connect with loved ones. The work we do is demanding, and your well-being is just as important as the mission we serve.

On behalf of the entire board, I wish you and your families a joyful holiday season filled with peace, warmth, and happiness. May the new year bring health, prosperity, and continued success to each of you.

Warmest regards,

Jim Easoz
OBI President
