Fort Wayne

Sitting in my hotel room in Fort Wayne, Indiana, dressed in formal wear waiting for the festivities of the 50th Celebration to begin at SSC. Today the full delegation arrived for the conference, and already I'm tired from 4 days of prep and Leadership Meetings. Tired, but happy! The trainers have been an AMAZING help - I owe my life to Ali, David, and Sara for really working their tails off. The organization feels like it's stabilized and ready "To Boldly Go" as our cheesy conference theme indicates. We had really amazing output from the subgroup that's been working all summer and it felt so good to get more ideas, more perspectives, and more creativity in one room to create exactly the type of organization that we all want to be working for. I'm exhausted, yet revitalized. Just sad that some really important people couldn't be here. We're really missing Tanja from Mad-town, Tiffany from GT, Rusty from Austin, April from Michigan, Juli from Yale, Adrienne and Meghan from DC, and lots of others. You all had better get yo'selves to WSC 'cause it'll be my VERY LAST CONFERENCE!!!

When I get back to NY next week, the job search will begin!!!!
