It is with great pleasure and excitement that I welcome you into the New Year on behalf of the Duane Morris Institute. This year is our 5th anniversary, and we’re excited to announce that we are beginning 2014 with a strengthened commitment to empowering your leadership.

In the coming months, you’ll notice a new, modern aesthetic rolling out across our organization. You’ve come to expect current, valuable, and relevant education from DMi, and we’re updating our look to reflect that. But, beyond the modern appearance, the new look reflects the deeper changes we’re making as an organization.

We’re updating our website to function in a more user-friendly manner, with easier navigation and course registration. The technology that powers our online webinars has been improved and updated to make the entire experience even more valuable for those participating. You’ll also notice a refreshed presence for DMi across social media, with new Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts dedicated to keeping you in the know.

That leads us to the other major aspect of evolution: our mission and vision as an organization. As the result of an internal discovery process, we have defined DMi’s true value and position in the industry, helping us focus on our message and value proposition to the public: Education that empowers your leadership.

Looking at this season’s new course line-up, you’ll see our mission reflected in education with a keen focus on leadership. From training managers on the benefits and risks of social media in the workplace, to discussing the most common mistakes made when firing an employee, our faculty has lined up a stellar course catalog that is full of timely and relevant topics.

Even more exciting, we’ve expanded our offerings to include additional leadership training and Lean-In Dialogue events, based on the success of last year’s. Stay tuned for updates on those as the year progresses.

We look forward to having you in class and hope that together we can help you accomplish your professional goals for 2014.
