April 2012

The American Society of Association Executives held their Great Ideas Conference in Colorado Springs.  Corlea, Linda, Nita and I came away ignited after attending this energizing event. This educational opportunity included more than 80 exceptional learning opportunities and two powerful general sessions featuring John Kao and Carmine Gallo. We, the DKG adminsitrative staff, connected at breakfast with Carmine Gallo.  Carmine is a former CNN business anchor and writes Your Communications Coach for Forbes.com. He is the author of The Inovation Secrets of Steve Jobs and the newly released, The Power of Foursquare. His keynote address entitled Standing Out in the Markeplace: Inspiring Lessons From Apple, Foursquare, and Other Creative Brands motivated his audience to unlock their creative potential and foster an environment that encourages innovation. Do we do this in our families? Do we do this with our friends? Do we do this in our classrooms?  How about with our co-workers? Take time to reflect over this thought.  Think of the endless possibilities and creative potential.
