TEDxRVA Adventure 2013

I'm a fan of TED & it was an exciting time in Richmond, Virginia this past week with TEDxRVA! Capital One was one of the big sponsors and I supported efforts to spread the word on our campus leading up to event day, 3/22. TEDxRVA was sold out, but Capital One University held a live simulcast to gather fellow associates & TED fans could enjoy the live show together. It was a fun experience to be a part of spreading the word on campus and to see the Company's passion & support in TEDxRVA & the Community.

TED & TEDx gives us the benefit of meeting others who we may have never known & open our minds to different ideas/thoughts. A gift!

I'm a believer of the power of great thoughts and sharing them... Of a strong community... Of promoting good vibes.. & focusing on unleashing greatness with emphasis on the possibilities, seeing what can be achieved vs what can't. Excited TEDxRVA happened & the world will learn more about the Great City of Richmond. I moved here in 2009, never thought I would.. & it has changed my Life for the better... It has given me new Life & I look forward to discovering more of what I love about my new home:)

Here are a couple pics I captured of rehearsal night & the live simulcast event day on the Richmond Capital One campus.

Live simulcast from Capital One in Richmond, Virginia

This live simulcast gathering was a great treat! Glad to have been an active part of managing volunteers to spread the word on our campus, last week, to support the viewing onsite. It was a fun and rewarding experience.
