DRI Leadership Perspectives: Chloe Demrovsky at the Caribbean-Central American Action Workshop
By Chloe Demrovsky President and CEO, DRI International We all know how hard the 2017 hurricane season hit the Caribbean.

Director's Greeting: Drive Issue #70
Greetings! The last time my kids had a day off and I was working, I sent them to the ice skating rink. And as I typed and talked, I envisioned them gliding and giggling and having a great time. Yeah, that’s what would have happened in the movies. But in real life, my life, my […] View More
Director's Greeting: From DRI2013
Greetings! There’s a great white shark patrolling the Jersey Shore. The Jersey Devil was sighted. Derechos and tornadoes were forecast this week, and some of that good old East Coast thunder and lightning even shut down the U.S. Open for half a day (not a good idea to be waving metal sticks around in a storm). And […] View More
Director's Greeting: Drive Issue #68

The snakes are scaring kids at Washington D.C. playgrounds. And the kittens, well, the kitten crisis headline was from a San Francisco paper, but I’ve […] View More

Greetings! David Bowie – Changes (Olympia) CDO. Nope, it’s not a typo for COD. It’s a new job title (at least, it’s new to me). It stands for Chief Disruption Officer, and no, I’m not kidding. I hadn’t heard of it until yesterday when I ran across the term in an article with this eye-catching […] View More
Director's Greeting: DRIVE Issue #66
See that picture? That’s PSY, the Gangnam Styleguy. And in that photograph, he’s doing his signature “choreography” at a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game. See that older gentleman sitting near PSY? That’s Tommy Lasorda. He’s old school baseball, a former player, coach, and your basic baseball legend. Now take a close look at Tommy Lasorda’s face […] View More
Director's Greeting: Drive Issue #65
Greetings! In my day, Casey Kasem was counting down the hits on American Top 40, advising “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.” Today, the countdown of the week’s top singles continues, but my daughter’s version is led by Ryan Seacrest. I don’t know many of the songs, and don’t […] View More
