A beautiful day in Chicago begins at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont. To start the day right, I take time to stop and smell the roses.

The Leadership Program is way down in the basement of the Hyatt. Luckily, I ran into my fellow Rough Drafts band mates in the hotel lobby. All I had to do to find the right meeting room was act casual and follow the Leaders.

The first thing we did was take over a table. See in the photo how we made our own reserved sign for the table. I'm pretty sure it fooled the authorities because they did not kick us out. Even if they did, we could just say "I'm with the band".

The opening remarks were given by our outgoing president, Hillary Hart.

My presentation is entitled "Do You want that Tweeted, Posted, or eMailed?" We begin by taking the Survey. Takes a while but it's a good way to introduce the scope of the Survey.

What a great idea to have attendees take the survey themselves. Did their responses jive with the responses from the original survey?
Yes, Carolyn. The responses are similar. We love our email and our face to face. We love love love those.
This group was more likely to be connected on twitter, facebook, and linked in also.
But bottom line, we love our email and our face to face meetings.
