I’m excited to announce I have joined the New Media Conventions team and plans are in the works for another social media conference in Hampton Roads for April 2010. I was privileged to be a speaker on “The Role of Public Relations in Social Media” and attend their first event in September at the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club in Virginia Beach. The next New Media Conventions is going to be even bigger, and I’m looking forward to planning the program with many talented, social media savvy professionals from throughout Hampton Roads. We’re going to put Virginia Beach on the social media map! Be sure to follow @NewMediaConv on Twitter as well as the hashtag for the next event, #NMC10. Also, check out the New Media Conventions blog for more information as plans for the big day are announced.

Inside Fitness
I’ve had a lot of co-workers ask me how I stay fit, and I never had the courage to tell them the truth. My secret: pole dancing. When I leave the office three days a week, I spend about two hours at a women’s-only gym in Virginia Beach, Studio Rio.
Well, that’s not much of a secret anymore. I was featured in Inside Business this week for their “Inside Fitness” column. I’ve been pretty shy about it, but the truth is, pole dancing is a fabulously fun workout that more women should experience. It will whip you into shape and improve your confidence, which I believe makes you a better person at home and at work. So open your mind, check out the story, and consider taking some classes yourself. You can follow Studio Rio on Twitter as @StudioRio.
