This year's silent auction for the #ACESEvolve Education Fund raised a record $6K.
FANTASTIC
Peter Sokolowski introduced himself at the start of his #ACESEvolve session by saying he works "at the dictionary."
Hearty laughter ensued.
(He's the French-English editor at Merriam-Webster. That dictionary.)
Day 2 of #ACESEvolve is done. Informative and entertaining sessions, tasty banquet fare, engaging keynote from Connie Schultz. Helped sort silent auction purchases by buyer, arranged alphabetically by first letter of last name. More good conversation and much laughter.
One more day of conference to go.
Threats of karaoke tomorrow evening.
"If we're never scared, we've stopped growing." - Connie Schultz
