National Girlfriend's Day

So here's a bit of trivia. August 1st is National Girlfriend's Day.

Seriously. It's ok, I didn't know either until Peter Shankman of Help A Reporter Out (HARO for short) told me this morning.

Isn't it cool though that we picked August 1st for our first Executive Girlfriend's Group call?

I am looking forward to this telephonic confab of all my favorite women from the travel industry.

If you are reading this blog and are a C-level executive or report directly to a C-level executive in the travel industry, please send me a note and I'll add you to the group. Sorry, no boys allowed!

Check us out on Facebook. EGG on FACEbook! Gotta love that!

We'll be moving to a new community site soon. I'll be announcing our new sponsor shortly!

Comments from EGG members about the group

From Peggy Collins, author and vignette speaker

"I want to thank you for a wonderful experience yesterday on your EGG call. What an interesting, stimulating group of women. I don't know when I've enjoyed anything more!"

From Jane Baxter Lynn, Principal, JBL Strategies and EVP, Global Marketing & Communications, TourismROI

"Having met Chicke at a TIA Board meeting in Vail, I count myself as fortunate to have been invited to join the call. I look forward with genuine pleasure to chatting with like-minded women and hearing the vignette of the day. A great way to end the week. There is a very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, which is so rare at a professional level."

From Connie Goscinski-Smith VP Product Development Solutionz

A great way to end a work week and start your weekend….interacting, sharing, and learning with intelligent and witty women!!

From Sue Cronin - Founder, Harbour Marketing

”What an amazing gathering of great women! It’s inspiring to end one’s week by exchanging thoughts, ideas and experiences with so many women at the top of their game.”

From Sheila Rice - SVP Business Development, Professional Travel Guide

The EGG is a unique forum of intelligent, successful, professional, highly motivated, articulate and successful women that have accomplished so much within their professional and personal lives. The openness, and candor of our group is especially nice to experience. Additionally, the way EGG has evolved, lends itself to being educational and supportive. It is so comforting to listen to women that share my concerns and have faced similar challenges within their work and home. It always makes me take note that so many women face universal issues with so many similar, predictive responses. The ‘Speaker of the Week’ is an interesting aspect of the meeting and grounds some of our discussions. Bottom line, it is just so, so nice to have an environment to communicate within. And, there is that sense of comfort and trust that one has an ability to share so much information. I can not thank Chicke enough for the invitation to attend or for all the hard work that she has put into EVERY aspect of organizing these meetings. Her wit, kindness, warmth, enthusiasm, energy, positive perspective and insight are an enormous part of why EGG has taken such a positive and productive path. I consider myself quite fortunate to be part of this group and, as we all do, try very hard to attend as many meetings as possible, as I work on developing and improving “life balance”.
