 » Executive Summary: Wendy Mann, CAE

#### On my desk right now:

Business continuity plan update, social media strategy, program content for workshop, Save Rural Broadband advocacy campaign

#### Who I’m following on Twitter

@randomhouse, @printbooks, @jasonhiner

#### What I do when I’m not at work

Have my nose in a book always, work out, run 5Ks, spend time in my garden, listen to live music at venues around the DC area.

#### My 3 goals for 2012

1. **More work-life balance** (this did not happen in the first six months, so I’ve renewed my vow).
2. **Seek innovation** in all things.
3. **Delegate more.**

#### If I weren’t doing this, I’d …

be a writer and tell stories that change lives.

#### The best advice I ever received:

Be who you are and be that well.
