Talking Stick - July/August 2014 - 6

VISION

Transitions
Greetings from New York City. I am humbled to serve as the 64th president of ACUHO-I. Following the
2014 annual conference, I am even more conﬁdent that the past few years have been the best opportunity
for me to enhance my knowledge and practice of campus housing. For the past two years I have been
surrounded by an outstanding group of dedicated Executive and Foundation Board members.
While I transition into this role, the association will undergo a number of transitions
as well. The most exciting of these is the formation of a new strategic plan. To assist, we
have hired Jean Frankel from Ideas for Action, who has led numerous non-proﬁts in this
exercise including, most recently, the NCAA. We will review the data we gathered from
various member surveys, focus groups, and ongoing conversations with stakeholders.
Intentional, planned reﬂection is the best way to garner top results. Having thoughtful
veteran facilitation of our process will ensure that voices from all of our membership will be
included in the ﬁnal product. Allan Blattner, our president-elect, will coordinate the process
with Jean. We are in good hands.

WE WILL ONLY
IMPROVE
THROUGH
LEARNING WHAT
OUR MEMBERS
NEED FOR
PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES.

Another transition is also underway: the selection of a new ACUHO-I executive director.
After a decade of outstanding service and stewardship, Sallie Traxler will move on to new
opportunities. We are grateful for her leadership and guidance. Patty Martinez, now a past
president, along with a handful of other association members, will serve on the association's
transition committee. This group will manage the
process of nominating a successful candidate.

Finally, I am committed to learning through
listening to our members. This year I will
take daily "member calls" in which a member
institution can spend 20 minutes responding to
three questions voicing issues they believe that
ACUHO-I needs to respond to in the future.
We will only improve through learning what
our members need for products and services. In that regard,
it is only appropriate that this issue of the Talking Stick is the
"crowdsource issue" for which ACUHO-I members submitted
all of the story topics. Remember that you always have the
opportunity to submit story ideas, suggestions, and questions
via online forms on the ACUHO-I website.
I thank you in advance for your input and look forward to
our upcoming year.
Sincerely,
Tom Ellett
ACUHO-I President
