Prepare for #ELGL14 by learning about who is attending. Find out if you’ll be surrounded by soft talkers, loud eaters, and finger biters or whether you’ll be surrounded by the best in local government.

(Complete the sentence) #ELGL14 is…..an exciting and new opportunity for me to meet others working in a field that I love.
Registration for #ELGL14 cost $60. If you could use that $60 to buy something else, what would you buy?
I’d spend it on a date night with my husband. We have a 1 year old, so baby-free dates are now few and far between!
If #ELGL14 spun off into a music festival, what bands (dead or alive) would you like to see?
Coldplay
BeeGees
Elton John
During your time in Portland for #ELGL14, how do you plan on “Keeping Portland Weird?”
I’m from Portland, so I’m happiest exploring Powell’s on a rainy day with a good mocha in hand. To me, that is Portland. I’ll let the out-of-towners stand in line at VooDoo Donuts – been there, done that.
(Complete the sentence) I feel old when……I see the posted ages for buying alcohol at the grocery store and it’s 1993 (that’s scary).
