I have been
fortunate to be a charter member of the CDI and have been able to
grow with the organization. When I first joined I was new to the
field, so membership to me has meant learning, growing and
developing friendships with other professionals in the same field.
My membership has caused me to stretch and step out to do things
that I would not have considered before.
I am excited
about the new direction of the CDI. Have you visited the website
lately? This alone shows us the innovative and creative planning and
foresight of the new leadership. In addition, we are being given
extraordinary resources to use to grow our business. And the
training and learning opportunities continue to grow.
All in all, I
have discontinued my memberships in most other career associations
because I have not been getting any value from them. The value I get
from the CDI has kept my interest, kept me growing, and kept me
learning. Thank you CDI!"

Freddie Cheek, President, Cheek & Associates, LLC
(www.cheekandassociates.com)
states that, “After attending Vegas this year, I can honestly say
that I have rarely participated in a conference where the sessions
were so worthwhile (and this was probably my 30th conference).
I have attended
the CDI conference for the past four years. Not only have I had a
wonderful time but, more importantly, I have greatly benefited from
each experience.
What have I
gained?
-
A lucrative relationship with a business for which I now
subcontract.
-
Information that I have used in materials I have written
for publication.
-
Invaluable tips on conducting my business.
-
Visibility and networking with peers whose expertise I
value.
-
Ideas for presentations I have given.
-
The best client management tip I have ever received and
which I have passed along to almost everyone I know.
-
A chance to meet colleagues whom I admire and very much
wanted to share time with.
-
Materials, including a resume critique program, that I
use almost daily to make my job easier.
-
Writing and grammar tips that I have shared with members
of other associations.
And that's just a partial list.
Okay, I must
admit I have had fun, too. The food has always been top notch and
the accommodations have been superior. I have always felt a part of
a bigger family of colleagues. I have even walked away each year
with a suitcase full of door prizes and giveaways.”
