There’s a lot going on, so let me run some of it down for you.

1. The ASAE & The Center Annual Meeting in San Diego is rapidly approaching. I’m not doing any sessions on conflict this year, but I am co-facilitating the annual "BloggerCon" (we achieved session status this year; no more begging for space) with Ben Martin. Yes, prizes will be available for men based on facial hair and women based on painted nails.

2. Once again, I am donating prizes for the Annual Meeting Silent Auction (I would put a link, but ASAE doesn’t actually have one on their conference site. Sigh. Update: thanks for the link, Greg). They created a new prize this year: "consultants corner" where consultants can give their time away on specific topics in two hour increments. No bidding, just "buy now" for $250. I gave four of those–two to talk about generational issues, and two to talk about conflict. Check it out (and give me the link via comment, if you find it). I know Jeff and Mickie have donated as well.

3. One more annual meeting note: Young Association Professionals (YAP) will be getting together on Monday night of the Annual Meeting. More info at the YAP site: www.yapstar.org

4. Despite being behind in blog reading, I’ve been adding blogs to my reader, including a new blog from YAP superstar Elizabeth Weaver Engel. Check it out.

5. One blogger I can’t keep up with these days is Maddie Grant. Feeling like she needs more to do, she’s running for a Board seat at the Social Media Club, and the polls are open! So go vote for her.
