I’m writing tonight from the “City of Champions”, Boston. I flew in this evening with Jeff Buchanan, NOLS finance director and Drew Leemon, NOLS risk management director. We are joining other NOLSies here for the February meeting of the NOLS Board of Trustees. As a non-profit school we look to this talented group to provide us with guidance and support as NOLS moves forward.

Tomorrow a few of us will be meeting with staff from some schools here in the Boston area to discuss opportunities for partnering. Then I’m off to visit with staff at BzzAgent, a word of mouth marketing firm. BzzAgent is in the midst of a pro-bono campaign for NOLS. Should be a great day. I’ll report back tomorrow.
