Oy... Columbus for us. 4 hours. or 5 if we go to Chicago suburbs.

I guess I have a year to figure it all out... too tired tonight to wrap my head around it...

Um, hello? This is a no-brainer. CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's in Schaumburg, but you know what's there? IKEA!!!!

Well both spring/fall launches for us are 6-8 hour drives BUT fun road trips. At least we can drive in one day..can't do that to Chicago. And SHAFTED is New Mexico. We have a senior director here (not my cluster) and others but no execs...We get a visit every now and then from an HO...

Okay, here's my downer moment. I wish we would have known that this year's was the last National Conference. There were places I didn't go this year. I'm glad I found some new places and FINALLY made it to Navy Pier after 8 conferences!!!

What would you have done differently if you knew it was the last conference?

It was my ONLY year to go! LOL I've been in Japan my whole PC career. I thought it was fun having 1 from southern CA, one from northern CA, one from mainland Japan, me from TX, one from FL & meeting a "PC Cousin" from South Carolina. THAT certainly won't happen at the Fall Launches but I can also see that MORE of the team members will have the option to attend Fall Launch that wouldn't have ever had the chance to attend National Conference. So I know it will benefit the masses more than it will hurt my weird crazy spread-all-over-the-world team! PLUS, anyone on my team who goes will probably be the ONLY one from the team to attend that location ... so everyone can share what they learned at their event & we can learn from various presenters across the country.

I will bet money that we will have a Leadership in Chicago in the near future. So you will get to do all of those things.

Well, my dh and I decided that instead of doing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer for the third year in a row in Santa Barbara next year we will do it in Chicago. That takes care of my Chicago fix for 2012.

Let me know when it is. I'd love to come cheer you on!

Hey Deb that would be cool! I think it's in May, we may not walk it we might just crew (help) instead to give us a break in fundraising (each person has to raise $1800 to walk it), but we would still be there and it would be so cool to see my Chicago peeps! If we do walk it (39.3 miles in 2 days), I'll post because we'll be needing additional cheering on!
