Regional News

From the January - March 2010 issue of ACCED-I Connections:

I am pleased to announce that Emily Roberts, events coordinator from The Evergreen State College, is our new regional director-elect.  Congratulations Emily!

Information will be sent out soon about our regional dinner location while at the Annual Conference in Louisville. 

Thank you to Seattle University for hosting our successful fall regional meeting.  Big Kudos to Kate Kelly & Danielle Gonzales for making this year's meeting a huge success.  We had outstanding sessions that were a good balance between conference and event topics.  The Seattle vendors catered dinner and the Holland America Cruise Line Tour were among the highlights of the three day meeting. 

Lane Community College’s Center for Meeting and Learning in Eugene, OR was awarded Lane County's Restaurant/Food Service Trashbuster Award! The award goes to selected local community members, organizations, and businesses that put their efforts toward reducing or preventing waste in our community. The Center for Meeting and Learning was selected as the Restaurant/Food Service Trashbuster because it applies a zero waste priority to staff training, written policy, promotions, and in contract language with vendors and customers. Beyond basic recycling, on-site composting, donation of reusable food and refusal to use disposable food service wares reduces waste. They go further to prioritize purchase of recycled content options for everything from brochure paper and office supplies to guest pens, facial tissue, and even carpeting. For more about the Center for Meeting and Learning's sustainable practices, visit their website.
