It's CUES' 50th year, and I can't help drawing comparisons between the movement's preeminent professional development provider and the bands that share our anniversary--1962. I wouldn't dare touch the Beatles (fortunately, they don't share 1962 with CUES), but there are others.

For 16 of the past 18 years, I have had the wonderful experience of attending the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference has moved on from the Washington Hilton and the eclectic neighborhoods surrounding DuPont Circle to the top of the fantastic Walter E. Washington Convention Center in the vibrant downtown/Gallery Place district. The escalator ride to the top of the convention center seems to be a fittingly analogous annual reminder of the growth and momentum of our movement.
