LERN’s Best Year Ever

yearendLERN ended calendar year 2014 with its best year in history.  December 31, 2014, also marked the end of our best six months in history.
FY14 income was a record, and our first half FY15 income (July 1, 2014-December 31, 2014) was a half-year record of over $1.9 million, up almost 10 percent over last year.
Even more importantly:
-Membership is up,
-We had an historic conference ushering in a new era in lifelong learning,
-UGotClass had another record year, and
-We are successfully transitioning to a Gen X and Gen Y leadership in our association.
We want to thank the LERN Leaders, especially our top 30 Senior LERN Leaders who have initiated many of the positive new activities and services introduced over the past year. Your leadership is being led this year by Chair of the Board Cathy Noonan of San Jose, California.
LERN staff and consultants have been on the road consulting and doing Program Reviews every week of the year. And thousands of you have participated in our webinars and online courses.
In 2015 you will see even more cutting edge advanced information, as well as more new services and benefits.
