Bright and early tomorrow morning, I hop on a plane with my colleagues, bound for Seattle, WA. I’m excited about this trip for two reasons: (1) attending NACAC since I had to miss it last year while preparing for maternity leave and (2) visiting Seattle for the first time. My career has provided me with the chance to travel extensively throughout the United States, yet until now, I haven’t stepped foot in the Pacific Northwest.

NACAC is always a great experience. It’s a chance to catch up with folks we only get to see a few times throughout the year – our wonderful clients, friends at institutions we may not work with but always enjoy seeing, and friendly competitors who share the same mission we do – to help our clients in the education market achieve their goals, engage and inspire prospective students, articulate their brand to their many constituents…

As NACAC progresses, we’re going to keep our colleagues back in Atlanta in-the-know as well as our contacts on the institution side who maybe didn’t make the trip to Seattle for NACAC this year or work outside of the admissions area. Last year, grounded in Atlanta, I had to make do with living vicariously through the photos our team posted to Flickr. This year, the ante has been raised and you can stay abreast of NACAC activity in a number of ways. In addition to our blog posts, you can follow us on Twitter or if you’re a Facebook member, check us out there! If you’ll be in Seattle, please visit us in the exhibit area — booth #712.

Signing off. Back to packing…
