Taking Time to Learn

Ever think you're too busy to learn?  In these days of instant messaging, work pressures, and hectic schedules it is easy to put aside our discipline to learn.

As incoming President of RAMA (Rochester Chapter, American Marketing Association), I'm excited to be taking time this upcoming weekend with some of my fellow board members to learn. AMA is hosting the annual Leadership Summit in Chicago this weekend, which is a gathering of leaders from the 75 AMA chapters in North America.  RAMA is one of the best chapters in North America, and we are taking six board members to this year's Summit to get even better!

The experience is always energizing, and I'll report back next week on the Summit, and how RAMA is going to be better next year because we took time to learn.

When did you last carve out some dedicated time to learn?
