As is tradition, DAYL kicked off 2018 with a Committee Chair Orientation. This year, to spice things up a bit, we hosted the event at El Fenix and made it more of a fiesta. Over 100 were in attendance to help us kick-off our Good, Better, Best 2018. I enjoyed sharing my new programs and initiatives for the year with our co-chairs and greatly appreciated the help of several DAYL officers and directors in educating our co-chairs on DAYL policies, finances, tips on being a successful co-chair, and more (shout out to Paul Simon, Immediate Past President; Charlie Gearing, President-Elect; Justin Gobert, Vice President and Chair of the DAYL Foundation; Whitney Keltch Green, Treasurer; Andy Jones, Secretary; and Paige Tackett, Director, for your parts in the night’s program). I have already seen our amazing co-chairs putting the things they learned to work as each committee’s 2018 events and programs are being planned and executed. Thank you to Cherie Harris for making the night so fun and productive. Thank you to my law firm, McGuire, Craddock & Strother, P.C., for sponsoring this and for supporting me this year. And thank you all who attended for helping kick-off a Good, Better, Best year for DAYL! #daylgoodbetterbest
