I will be leaving today for San Diego to attend the National Speakers Association Annual Convention.  I attended my first local chapter meeting of NSA five years ago at the invitation of my friend and former neighbor Cyndi Maxey when she began her term as chapter president.  I found it an inspiring group, both for development as a practicing lawyer and for developing as a speaker.  I've stayed active since.  In fact, I have been elected president of the Illinois chapter, taking the helm at the start of this month.  I'll report more about the convention as the week goes on.
