It is with great sadness that we notify our user community of the passing of Lucinda Fleckenstein, after a brief but devastating illness.

Lucinda served our user groups in several capacities: President, Board of Directors, and Advisory Board member throughout her days representing Booth Newspapers. She was known to have a calming personality within our group and helped navigate not only our user community mergers but also the PBS/DTI/Newscycle transitions. She continuously kept our needs at the forefront.

For those that knew Lucinda, and maybe even worked with her within InPUT and the subsequent groups, you may have experienced the “quiet storm”; those times when she, not-so-quietly, would dig in. She was not afraid to challenge top management from the vendor company and demand accountability from the same.

Due to her history within our group, Lucinda was also the go-to person for parliamentary procedure, interpretation, and by-law intent. She was also an active contributor of these Google Groups. She will be missed.

Lucinda is survived by her wife Karen and their family members.

A Message to Our Fellow iConnect Members:

Back in April 27th of this year, Naviga and iConnect worked together to host an open forum with past Navigate attendees to share our ideas on which topics we would like to see covered at the next conference. From that forum, the recording and accompanying chat comments are available for our members on the iConnect’s Group’s Slack workspace iconnectsolutions-hq.slack.com (members can request it here: https://www.iconnectsolutions.org/contact-the-board).

Naviga has since been evaluating all our requests so they can make sure they host workshops and sessions that we have requested. To that end, they have decided that rather than waiting until once a year to host one large event to cover these topics, our needs will be better served to instead present these sessions as an ongoing series, and host one or two new sessions per month, each focusing on a specific topic that we have requested, or a topic that Naviga would like to show us more about.

Naviga will also be communicating their customers their new seminar schedule approach starting with their next sessions, which are as follows:

The next upcoming session is on June 14th at 11am ET:

You can post your own ideas on our social media sites listed above.
