Whether or not you make New Year’s resolutions, we all have an agenda for 2023. Before the ball dropped over Time Square, I asked four Chicagoland CEOs to answer a single question: What are your top 2-3 priorities for 2023?

Based on how quickly and succinctly each of them responded, it’s clear they are ready to tackle the year ahead. 

Here’s what they shared:

Bruce Hammond, CAE

“Professionally, top priorities include successfully launching our new strategic plan to our members, diversifying our revenue streams, identifying and stewarding our organization’s next leaders, and effectively supporting our staff in their work.  Personally, I’d like to prioritize spending more time volunteering and giving back in my community, while also taking advantage of opportunities to rest and recharge with my family throughout the year.”

Diane Weber, RN, MHA

“Member engagement, conference revitalization, and collaborative content partnerships are our primary areas of focus.”

Jose Segarra, MNA, CAE, CNP

“I will be focusing on revamping our benchmarking program and increasing the value proposition to our members and sponsors.”

Executive Director, Bostrom

Vicki Loise, CMP, CAE

“We have a strategic plan that runs through 2026 and we do have some actions in that plan that we will work on or continue work in 2023. From a broader perspective, we’re using 2023 to do some big, visionary planning. We’re going to map out a few initiatives that would be transformational for SLAS and our community.”
