AHDI’s Executive Director, Peter Preziosi, PhD encouraged us to stay externally focused and be an ambassador for the association and its mission.

As the “keepers” of document integrity, this association needs to develop an atmosphere of trust so that our members can believe in and trust their association to provide them with the appropriate answers and opportunities. The most successful organizations provide a wide range of opportunities that will develop and enhance our members’ professional growth.

We need to be the knowledge brokers for all aspects of the profession. We also need to provide support for the creation of relevant content, integrate online and face-to-face networking opportunities. Listening to our members’ needs and focusing on how we can best meet those needs or create/broker opportunities for them to address those needs.
