"When swag people want to take home the swag, you know it's good!"
Each year the WEE planning committee sets out in search of products that reflect the WEE theme of the year. Taking place in the Fall, the season played a big role in the branding and product selection, this year. The WEE sessions were centered around being the best version of yourself, both personally and professionally; different products were sourced to promote this positive and healthy lifestyle. From mugs of warm apple cider and Fall themed cookies when the guests arrived, to wellness products and stylish bags and totes, the committee did not miss an opportunity to tie in a product with the theme. "Everything was fantastic, well thought out and fit the criteria for each theme. The suppliers were very generous and I am grateful for the items we received. I have already put many into great use within the last few days", says one WEE attendee.

7 Timeless Marketing Tips That Will Outlast Any Trend
The digital world is not static, and exerting the time and energy into exploring emerging trends, building cutting-edge
social media plans, and expanding skill sets into new arenas, are par for the course if you want to build long-term,viable companies.
But constantly pushing yourself beyond your laurels takes grit and
mental toughness
, and of course time, which is one area where most entrepreneurs consistently run short. It's easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day responsibilities of running a company, and looking beyond short-term deadlines to find new ways to expand an organization that is already working demands steadfast dedication. Here are a few of the marketing lessons I have found to be most impactful in carving out a dynamic and engaging digital business.

It's Not Bragging
By Jae M. Rang, MAS
Reading time: 53 seconds
Do you really appreciate me? Because I consistently deliver, perhaps you're not aware of just how much I do."
Okay, so you probably wouldn't say this to the company President, an association member or even your spouse but the thought has crossed your mind, hasn't it?
We can't ignore that an endless effort to keep all the balls in the air, and to a high degree of care and expertise, can lead to burn-out. More and more people are experiencing anxiety, chronic fatigue, insomnia, anger or even depression, tell-tale signs that they're hitting a wall - in order to deliver to expectations.
Why is that?
Is it for fear of losing a job, a member, a customer, that someone might take our place or that we'll miss an opportunity for financial advancement that we plow through, head down?
Or is it that we are void of perceived respect or validation that we don't set healthy boundaries?
