They’re Not Messing Around: 2012 GWWIB Spring Conference
Knowing Gabbi Baker, I had no doubt that GWWIB’s 3rd Annual Spring Conference would be a hit. Having some conference planning experience, I know how much blood, sweat, tears and planning goes into the process. GWWIB’s conference blew me away. Their sophisticated set-up, high caliber speakers and attention to detail made the event a huge success.
The theme was “envision, engage and execute,” and it was threaded throughout the day. Princess Yasmine Pahlavi, Founder of the Foundation for the Children of Iran, gave the opening keynote speech with the theme of “envision.” Her discussion of her career, her family and how she has carved out her path perfectly fit the bill. Her advice was straightforward and her candid stories made the speech really fun.

An Eco-Friendly Update from Sol System’s New Solar Energy Blog
Just in case you hadn’t heard (and you know, not to brag or anything) but American University grabbed the GRAND CHAMPION title in RecycleMania 2012 this month with a 85.6% overall recycle rate! AUSMC has definitely caught the eco-friendly bug and in order to celebrate the win, as well as the start of AU Earth Weeks (April 17th-27th), we have decided to feature an awesome new blog that you should definitely check out sometime this week when you are not out enjoying the fresh air by planting a tree for Campus Beautification Day or test driving an All-Electric Nissan Leaf.
Stereotypical SLS 12 Wrap-Up Blog Post
When I wasn’t arranging hummus platters, securing orange balloons, eating popchips in a corner or arbitrarily freaking out, I did get to enjoy SLS 2012. And in true wrap-up blog post fashion, I picked my 5 favorite moments of the weekend.

Chloë, President, @ChloeTroia
I’m going to SLS because I want to know what’s next and what will stick around. Every single day, we’re bombarded with information overload. FourSqaure, Tumblr, Pinterest, Highlight, Glancee, Sonar. What has lasting power? I’m obsessed with digital advertising, branded content and story-telling and I’m so excited to hear what the experts are loving, hating and using.
