Thanksgiving weekend seems to be a time of tradition and reflection. As I write this post, I can see the beautiful trees outside shimmering in their various spectacular colours, observe the table is being set reflecting our family traditions and enjoy the aroma of the turkey cooking.

I certainly have much to be thankful for: good health, a wonderful loving family  and many good friends. In my role as CIO for the Board, I have a career  that is challenging, rewarding, engaging and  filled with opportunity. I have a wonderful staff and work with a talented and dedicated leadership team.

This year I have connected with many new people through professional associations and online collaboration opportunities. I appreciate the opportunity to learn and share with a great group of people. Technology has really been an enabler in facilitating these online connections. What an exciting time to be alive!

I sincerely hope I can return the many blessings I have by giving to others and making a difference.
