Azione Unlimited has established its new Education Committee. The newly created committee will consist of one chair and five to six members — all of whom do not hold the title of owner. This important distinction was designed to focus on the perspectives of different layers of a team and make sure each voice is represented at the table.
“Azione Unlimited will lead the pack in education,” says Patrick McCarthy, director of new business development and member services. “Our tentpole for 2024 is education, and assembling some of the most intelligent minds in our community in one committee is our most vital asset. The future for how our members ingest education is three-dimensional, and it is pivotal that our core foundation has a multitude of ideas, cultures, and wisdom. In unveiling our dynamic Education Committee, Azione Unlimited is not merely making a commitment; it’s igniting a movement.”
The early goals of the Azione Education Committee include:
- Enrich Learning Opportunities: By reviewing and endorsing educational materials, the AEC ensures its members can access the latest knowledge and resources to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.
- Amplify Member Voices: The AEC will represent its members’ voices by explaining diverse needs and aspirations through collaborative initiatives, ensuring its offerings are designed for their success.
- Shape the Future of Meetings: Azione’s committee will influence the design of its conference education, ensuring that it aligns perfectly with industry trends and emerging technologies.
- Secure Influential Keynote Speakers: Expect to see renowned thought leaders at Azione’s events as the committee works to bring the most influential voices to the stage.
- Deliver Cutting-Edge Webinars: Collaborating with Azione Unlimited’s dedicated staff, the committee will provide webinars packed with insights and practical knowledge from business coaches, vendors, and brilliant minds.
- Introduce Technician Pay Scale Grading: To further professionalize the industry, the AEC is developing a standardized technician pay scale grading system to recognize and reward excellence.
