Last week I had the privilege of graphic recording the Howard County Chamber of Commerce – Women In Government Contracting Conference. This one day conference was held at the Doubletree Hotel in Columbia, MD and featured top women in leadership, business, and government contracting.
During this conference See In Colors provided graphic recording for the morning, lunchtime keynote sessions and 2 break out sessions. Speakers included:
- Marissa Levin, CEO, Successful Culture
- Kimberly Ellis Taylor, Global Accounting Strategy Director, Oracle
- Timothy Schmitt, Aronson Capital Partners
- Gloria Larkin, TargetGov
The speakers were awesome and the content was priceless! Take a look at the visual summaries below.

I love these kinds of projects, because I get to learn something new about business! I provided graphic recording for the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland at their Social Enterprise Symposium.
My favorite quote of the day came from the keynote speaker, Shannon Schuyler of PwC. She said “Creating a better world is smart for business.” I agree, 100%.
Great speakers and special thanks to lead sponsors Price Waterhouse Coopers, EarthColor, and Goodwill Industries International, Inc.

“Libraries Transform” is a multi-year campaign about the transforming the role of libraries in America.
This week I joined a webinar that showed libraries how to use several facilitation approaches to foster conversation and lead change in communities. The webinar was hosted by the American Library Association and the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation.
Here are just a few key points that I sketched while listening. There are several more webinars coming up, so if you are interested, find out more here.
For as long as I can remember… I’ve always had a library card. I’m really excited to see how the #LibrariesTransform initiative will play a role across our country. The timing in our country right now is perfect for having meaningful dialogue.
Question, comments or ideas? I’d love to hear them. Hit reply or contact me.

If you don’t have time to fly a kite on Feb 8th, you can draw one! Here is a quick lesson on How to Draw a Kite in 5 Easy Steps.
Hope you had fun with this lesson. Let me know if you fly a kite on Feb 8 or draw one!
I draw kites when creating visual notes to represent childhood, freedom, the wind or sky. This one image of a kite, has so many meanings!
