We are in full planning mode here at GEO. We have a strong list of founding sponsors, our staff is excited about our Forum host the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, and Executive Director Michael Bendorf will be meeting with the Speaker Selection Committee for NECF next week.

We're also preparing for GEO's appearance at Total Rewards 2011 Conference and Exhibition next month, where we're offering a few opportunities win our giveaway. It's very cool, and it'll be very useful at the Forum for what we have planned. We know you'll want one.
