I received an award today that’s a pretty big deal in my profession. I’ll just link to my Codella Marketing newsroom here so you can check it out. I’ll also have photos of the event and award in the next few days.
Today I toured the Alamo with Mike Huckabee
I was an unexpected part of a campaign 2008 event today. I’m in San Antonio participating in the International Association of Business Communicators Leadership Institute (because I’m the president-elect of the Las Vegas chapter of IABC) and after getting settled at The Westin Riverwalk hotel met up with an IABC comrade from Salt Lake City [...]
