T H A N K   Y O U   to each of you who helped me win a spot on the trip to New Orleans. Read more: NolaBound

New Orleans, through a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Administration, has chosen 25 well-connected individuals from across the country to assess the status of New Orleans as a model of new business progress and thinking. These lucky 25 folks { within four targeted business sectors—arts-based businesses, biosciences, digital media, and sustainable industries } will explore the city and share their observations and insights about New Orleans and its entrepreneurial community. Those experiences and opinions — positive, negative, or otherwise — will be shared with the rest of the world, unfiltered and in real-time. How smart that they are willing to do this!

This five-day program will be filmed, and a documentary will premiere in New Orleans in October 2012. OOOla-la. Must get a few new outfits!

I really appreciate all of you who helped me by liking, commenting, posting and wishing me luck on my application {  link  } It’s because of you, my dear friends, that I am getting to take part in this opportunity.

Thank you!
