Greetings to all! Spring is a time of new beginnings, and it is our Chapter’s 64th anniversary in April. I want to thank each of you for being a member of EWI of San Diego and for your ongoing support. We continue to grow, and the dynamics of our Chapter continue to be strong. 2014 is turning out to be

another banner year for us, and I am honored to be a part of it.

There are so many elements that need to come together so we can operate seamlessly, and it takes a great deal of behind the scenes work. I want to extend compliments to our entire Board and our Committee Chairs for the energy and dedication they provide on behalf of the Chapter.

Our Advisor and Corporate Board Liaison, Darlene Banogon of North Island Credit Union, is a pillar of strength and a wealth of information. She is also our Corporate VP and will be taking over as President in September. How blessed we are to have her in San Diego.

Past President & Board Advisor Margie Wilson of Flagship Cruises & Events was an extraordinary leader for our Chapter, and we are trying our best to continue her high standards of excellence.

VP Besse Johannsen, Attorney at Law, has been working with Jan Rogers of Francis Parker School on our EWISP scholarship program; the applications are currently being judged. She is also working with new member Jamie Fleming, CFP, of Fleming & Associates, LLC, on the ASIST scholarships. We have not participated in the ASIST program for a few years – so it’s very exciting!

Secretary/Treasurer Erin Chapman of eIRONclad is a foundation of support in preparing our agendas, keeping meeting minutes, and lending a helping hand with all of our numerous special projects.

Our Sergeant -at-Arms Laura Machado of Marine Group Boat Works helps us maintain accurate records of attendance. Laura compiles counts for every meeting and reconciles on a monthly and annual basis.

Thank you to Retention & Recruitment Chair Karen Spencer of Flagship Cruises & Events for her due diligence with managing and posting list of prospects and her recruiting efforts – it’s really paying off!

Special thanks to Vanessa Davis of Broadway/San Diego for managing our fundraising efforts, by working on our raffle program, and with your support, continues to help raise money for our chapter. Vanessa also arranged our upcoming Executive Luncheon at The Westgate Hotel on April 15.

Chapter finances are in good order and recorded by the Treasurer’s Assistant – Anita Tindall, Life Member – who heads up a one-person committee, which requires total commitment and a lot of hard work. She makes sure that our money gets to the bank and maintains excellent records: the life-blood of any successful organization.

Jill Hammons of the USS Midway Museum and new Program Co-chair Teresa Johnson of Artistic Wedding Cakes by The Grove are doing an amazing job in coordinating our monthly meetings. We are almost set for the calendar year with locations and speakers. Each

San Diego Past Presidents Darlene Banogon, Anna McCutcheon, and Anita Tindall, with guest Josh Banogon (L. to R. above), attended a meeting of EWI’s California Chapters Las Presidentes Pasadas at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana on March 8. The group enjoyed lunch at the museum’s Tangata Restaurant and a private tour of a special exhibit of British paintings.

Message from the President Tracey Amernick, Cohn Restaurant Group [continued from Page 1]

month is unique and every program continues to keep us inspired and enrich our souls. In addition, all of our delicious menus have been custom-designed to give you all a true taste of San Diego’s finest culinary talents.

Applause goes to Anna McCutcheon of San Diego Theatres, our Communications Chair. It’s a real challenge to produce a newsletter, and a big thank you for her artistic efforts to produce such a professionally designed newsletter each month.

Our Literacy Co-Chairs Pat Evans of San Diego Convention Center Corporation and Lourdes Navarro of eIRONclad have been working behind the scenes this year looking for projects that we can contribute to, and will present these to us in the near future.

Patti Parsons, Sustaining Member, our Courtesy Chair, makes sure that all birthdays and celebrations are remembered and acknowledged, and keeps us informed about special occasions and significant events that impact us all.

Debbie Wilmot of Parma Management Co. is our historian and also keeps our membership list current. This is certainly no small feat!

So as you can see, it takes a team to run the Chapter, and beyond the team there are all of you who support us. As I close this letter, I realize how much we have accomplished in the first quarter of 2014. Thank you to all of you for being a part of it. We’re all very excited about our Chapter’s future!

The first National Secretaries Week was organized in 1952, in conjunction with the United States Department of Commerce and office supply and equipment manufacturers, to recognize the contributions of administrative personnel to the economy, to support their personal development, and to help attract people to administrative careers. The Wednesday of that week became known as National Secretaries Day. As the events gained international recognition, they became known as Professional Secretaries Week and Professional Secretaries Day. In 2000, the names of the week and the day were changed to Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative Professionals Day to keep pace with changing job titles and expanding responsibilities of the modern administrative workforce.

Executive Spotlight

What should EWI Members know about the USS Midway Museum? Your members should know that the USS Midway Museum is a tribute to San Diego, the “birthplace of Naval Aviation” and the city where America’s aircraft carrier fleet was invented. The Midway is the most visited historic ship in the world, seeing over 1 million visitors each year. We have over 250 after-hours special events annually, host over 450 military ceremonies, and welcome 50,000 local school children to “Midway University” for educational classes.

Were you born a leader, or made into one? As a junior officer in the Navy, my personal efforts and abilities were the most important measure of success. As I gained more seniority, my abilities took a back seat to the performance of those I was entrusted to serve and my leadership focused less on myself and more and more on them. As a CEO, taking care of my people is my #1 priority, and I believe the good leaders understand that.

What do you like to do in your free time? Golf, travel and hang out with my family.

What do you find most rewarding about your leadership role at the USS Midway Museum? Helping to build a true community asset that all of San Diego can be proud of.

What’s the best business or career advice you’ve ever received? You can whine or strive to do better. Your choice will determine your success or failure.

Who is your role model, and why? My father is my role model. He worked hard, took good care of his family, and never had eyes for anyone except my mother.

What is your favorite quote or words to live by? “The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” – Theodore Roosevelt

If you could be anywhere on earth right now, where would you be and what would you be doing? I’d be the CEO for America’s Living Symbol of Freedom, the USS Midway…and I mean that.

What would be your first choice for an alternate career? Professional athlete, but only in my dreams.

How has membership in EWI been a good business decision for you and the USS Midway Museum? Norma Nicolls, Jill Hammons, and [former EWI member] Lori Cartmill….all EWI superstars and leaders of Midway’s success.

Tell us about SKYE Limousine:

SKYE Limousine is a corporate and luxury transportation service. It is important for the members of EWI to know that our primary focus is providing service for executive travelers. Between home, office, airports and meetings, our fleet of sedans, vans and SUVs allow executives to convert travel time into productive time (to complete projects, phone calls, emails, even sleep.)

We have efficient reservation and billing systems that make creating and paying for reservations simple for executive assistants. SKYE Limousine chauffeurs carry themselves in a professional manner, dress well, operate vehicles safely and they care! We have a very high retention rate amongst our corporate clients because we do our job well – we keep executives and their assistants happy.

And yes, we do have limousines available for your upcoming winery tour.

What do you want our Members to know about you?

I can relate! I’m a wife, mother, University of Michigan grad, sister, daughter, stepmom, God’s princess, Harvard grad, athlete, certified teacher, yogi wannabe, business owner, divorced then remarried (to the same man…ask me later), international traveler, Grammy award-winning shower singer, and I wish I could do all of the above better. I’m sure with a cup of tea and a little time to chat we’d find a few things in common. Call me and we’ll set a tea date.

What do you find most rewarding about your leadership role at SKYE Limousine?

I’m a teacher-coach at heart and feel most rewarded when my role with SKYE Limousine allows me the opportunity to teach chauffeurs about our services and clients, lead them to understanding what’s most valuable to our clients, and coaching a chauffeur on how to render services that reflect this knowledge and understanding.

Adrienne Nicodemus President

SkyeLimo.com

Who is your role model or inspiration, and why?

My role models are my parents, who believe in the unconditional and unfailing love of God, who did their best to show me the beauty of His love and the joy of living a life in celebration of His love. I do not have perfect parents and they do not have a perfect daughter, however, realizing God’s unconditional love compels us to love others unconditionally and this is the miracle glue of any relationship.

I am inspired by my husband, who at 36 (my age now) had the zany idea of starting a corporate transportation service and who now at 44 is approaching the end of his first year of law school. I’m inspired by his bravery; he doesn’t fear reinvention and learning new tricks. He’s not the man I married, he’s a better man.

Do you have a favorite book?

I’ve read too many wonderful books to have a favorite, but I highly recommend The Color Purple (Alice Walker) and Moloka’i (Alan Brennert) -- both are AMAZING tales of women enduring harsh conditions without losing their sense of self or ability to love. Walker’s delightful presentation is in a series of epistles and has a different texture than the movie – read it!

What attracted you to membership in EWI?

As a business owner, I’m put off by comments like, “It’s not personal, it’s business.” Yes, it is business, and yet, it is personal. I take personal interest in knowing the T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Accomplishes More) of people that contribute to SKYE Limousine, and have a personal interest in exceeding the expectation of our clients.

I was attracted to EWI membership because the format (networking, dining and learning together) encourages members to establish relationships. And relationships don’t require categories, like business versus personal, either you have a good relationship or you do not. I’m interested in helping others by building good relationships.

How do you and SKYE Limousine hope to benefit from EWI membership?

The transportation industry is dominated by men and I believe diversity (in all forms) leads to better ideas and outcomes. If I look to my industry peers for precedence or guidance, I’m going to receive opinions heavily influenced by male thinking. EWI affords me an opportunity to connect with and learn from WOMEN in business; I think access to their diversity of experience and opinions will benefit me and SKYE Limousine.

One Surprising Secret of Highly Productive People From an article by Greg McKeown on LinkedIn.com

Over the last 10 years we have moved from being connected to being hyper-connected, with the promise that with increased connectedness would come, among other things, increased productivity. Somehow, we’ve bought into the assumption that there exists a linear relationship between success and connectivity, but often the exact opposite is the case. We can’t escape the hyper-connected nature of our modern world; it’s unrealistic to believe we’ll suddenly stop surfing the internet or checking our smartphones. However, turning to technology for the answer (productivity apps to help us streamline our to-do-lists, or calendar apps to help us schedule our over-stuffed lives) can be band-aid solutions, fooling us into believing that more – more apps, more software, more connected devices – will help us do less. There are times that less technology can enable us to accomplish more. This is why many of the most effective and successful people use non-digital solutions to help them navigate this hyper-connected world. The #1 non-digital solution successful people use? A simple notebook or journal. Consider the following examples:

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO. Writer Michael Helft in Fortune magazine: “[Sheryl’s] days are a flurry of meetings that she runs with the help of a decidedly undigital spiral-bound notebook. On it, she keeps lists of discussion points and action items. She crosses them off one by one, and once every item on a page is checked, she rips the page off and moves to the next. If every item is done 10 minutes into an hour-long meeting, the meeting is over.” Richard Branson, billionaire entrepreneur, wrote in his autobiography, “…my most essential possession is a standard-sized school notebook, which can be brought at any stationery shop on any high street across the country. I carry this everywhere and write down all the comments that are made to me by Virgin staff and anyone else I meet. I make notes of all telephone conversations and all meetings, and I draft out letters and lists of telephone calls to make....the discipline of writing everything down ensures that I have listened to people carefully.” Oprah Winfrey has kept a handwritten journal since she was 15. She has written, “It's a wonder that I've managed to be a successful human being considering how pathetic I appeared in many of my daily musings. It's a testament to growth and

grace that I've come this far… In my 40s, I got wiser. I started using journals to express my gratitude — and watched my blessings multiply. What you focus on expands.” While George Lucas worked on Star Wars for 8 hours a day from a secluded writing room, according to writers Brett and Kate McKay, “…he also carried a pocket notebook with him at all times for taking down ideas, words, and plot angles on the go. While mixing the sound for American Graffiti with Walter Murch, Murch asked Lucas for R2, D2, meaning Reel 2, Dialogue 2. Lucas liked the sound of that phrase and jotted it down in his notebook. This little note would of course come in handy later for the naming of that now famous robot. Names like Jawa and Wookie also began as quick scribbles in Lucas’ notebook.” For the last ten years I have kept a notebook with me almost everywhere I’ve gone and written in it almost every day. I use mine to write down:

1. Ideas 2. Goals 3. Quotes 4. Names of people I'd like to remember 5. Long lists of things I am considering doing 6. Short lists of things I am actually committing to 7. Notes from key meetings 8. Plans for future key meetings 9. What I need to say yes to, to achieve my goals 10. What I need to say no to, to achieve my goals 11. What I am grateful for today

These books are more than a collection of random lists: they enable us to connect the dots in our lives. They are more than piecemeal ideas: they provide the clues for what our highest contribution could be. They are more than a record of the past: they are a powerful tool for designing the future. Using a notebook or journal is not a cure-all for our hyper-connected world – but it can help us navigate it.

SAN DIEGO CELEBRATES 64 YEARS OF CONNECTIONS | CAREERS | COMMUNITY San Diego was chartered as a Chapter of Executives’

Secretaries (the original name of EWI) in April 1950, in the Don Room of the historic El Cortez Hotel downtown.

“What positive changes have you seen in EWI over the years?” San Diego’s longest-serving Members answer…

“The most significant positive change is the technology we use to communicate in ‘now’ time among our Members, other Chapters, and Corporate. Technology also facilitates a very attractive and informative newsletter with features not available in pre-digital times.” -Patti Parsons, Sustaining Member EWI Member since 1972

The Don Room

“The positive change for San Diego is that we really didn’t change. We are still going strong after all these years. We still have fantastic speakers, members attending conferences, retired members who stay involved, and lifelong friendships. And to have one of our own as Corporate President is a feather in our cap.” -Dolores Kelly, Life Member EWI Member since 1977

“Instead of many large firms, we have many small businesses - entrepreneurs. This is an exciting change - a change of the personality of our Chapter. Our organization is a perfect place for networking - a place to exchange ideas. I’m glad to see our Chapter keeping up in these fast changing times.” -Millie Goddard, Sustaining Member EWI Member since 1983
