| <vision> <![CDATA[ <p> In the current economic crisis it becomes more important than ever to ensure that Eclipse members, regardless of membership class, understand the value that their Eclipse membership provides to them. | |
| My vision for the next year is that we more effectively communicate the benefits to those we represent; identify the messages that resonate and assist the EMO in maintaining the current membership level. | |
| I will use communication channels like my blog, speaking engagements at conferences as | |
| well as emails as communication tools. </p> ]]> </vision> | |
