To the SVP Network, 

The excitement to travel to the SVP Conference is starting to build, and it occurred to me that this will be my 8th SVP Conference. You would think the 7-year-itch would have hit by now and I would have moved on, looking for the next big thing, something else to learn and do.  But it just keeps getting better every year, and I would hate to miss something.  Or worse yet, someone!

It's a time of year I anticipate: to reconnect with other partners, to pick up new ideas and trends, to discuss and debate, validate our work in Calgary, share my own perspective, meet some folks new to the network, and connect with key people in the philanthropic sector. From the Thursday to Saturday afternoon, the conference seems so short: it's over so fast you have to savor every minute.

Still looking for the next big thing?  Are you kidding?  This is it.
