It was cold! The NAHCR board met last week in cold
Minneapolis…. I can’t wait until the summer.
We met at the site of the next Image Conference, Hyatt
Regency Minneapolis. What a beautiful hotel. When I first walked
in, my eyes went directly to the beautiful fireplace. The fireplace is
almost the width of the lobby. Before checking in I met up with a fellow
board member, Derek Cunningham. Glad to see a familiar face in a strange
city!
I checked in- without a problem. The staff was helpful
and friendly. My room was on the 24th floor- the views were amazing, ( I
wished the weather was clearer so I could see better!). The board met for
two days; great meetings both days; great conversations and great
outcomes! I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for NAHCR.
I had an opportunity to visit the downtown area, which
is full of restaurants, small eclectic shops, coffee shops, book stores, large
stores (Target and Macy’s ) –there’s even “Hell’s Kitchen”. I took
a stroll on Saturday afternoon me myself and I; found myself in Target ( one of
my favorite stores)….. not just any Target- this store was HUGE! It’s in
a corner building – it has at least 3 floors and more importantly a
Starbucks! I was surprised to see their shopping carts had their own
escalator- yes- that’s correct; they had an escalator. I’ve never seen
that before. As I sat and enjoyed my coffee… I enjoyed city views –
this Starbucks had huge windows overlooking Nicollet Mall.
I look forward every year to Image – I get to visit a new
city and meet new friends and catch up with old ones! I really enjoyed
our board meeting and enjoyed Minneapolis. I hope to see you there in July!
