Where you Going? Barcelona. Oh. (as seen on www.herrochester.com).
By Pam Sherman | February 19, 2010
I can’t get that song from the musical “Company” out of my head as I pack for Barcelona to speak at the Young Presidents’ Organization Global Leadership Conference. I’m thick in the planning of what to wear, how to pack (leanly), and what materials I need to take. But as I busy myself with what to put in the suitcase, I also am excited for what will come home with me - the learning and connections made when 1,500 leaders gather to think about how they can make a difference in the world around them. The organization is celebrating 60 years starting this year and to think it was all started here in Rochester, New York by Ray Hickock of the Hickock Belt Company. He created this grassroots global organization, now with over 15,000 members, without the internet, no blogging, no twitter - just old fashioned connections one person at a time. This year I’ll share how life lived in a cornfield and behind a picket fence can widen your horizons in ways you can’t imagine. And how global connections are still made one friend at a time. I can’t wait to take in the sights and sounds of Barcelona and to share them with you upon my return. But as always, the best part about traveling is knowing my family is waiting in the cornfield for my return.

Hi Pam,
I am founder of the non profit Parenthood for Me. We recently partnered with CNY Fertility for our Family Building Dinner April 10. They suggested I get in touch with you. I would love to talk.
