It's here...the 49th Annual International Association of Women Police Conference...in beuatiful bluegrass country.
We (me and two fellow members of TEAM WINNIPEG 2014) started off early Wednesday morning to head south. After fuelling up with our Canadian fav...Tim Hortons coffee...we were on our way. 1,900 kilometers and 23 hours later we arrived at the Hilton Downtown in Lexington, Kentucky.
After a quick breakfast and short nap to restore our energy levels, we headed out to explore downtown Lexington. We discovered this a city full of fabulous historic buildings and lots of activity.
Today, Friday, August 19, the Board of Directors work got underway at the late (AKA Fall) board meeting. We got through a full day of discussion on day one with lots more to follow tomorrow. Over the past two years of my work on this board, I have been amazed at the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes, both at a conference and with the Board of Directors/Trustees. I am also continually amazed at the energy and dedication that my fellow board members bring to the table (and it is a big table this meeting!).
Now...about TEAM WINNIPEG 2014. We are very excited to be in Lexington this year to present at bid to host the IAWP Conference in 2014. Over the next few day I will introduce you to each of these women and tell you a bit more about our bid.
I will also fill you in about all of the great events going on this week. At this point I will start by simply saying JOB WELL DONE TO THE LEXINGTON CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS!! This is going to be another fabulous IAWP event.
