Today, Robbie Perkins announced his candidacy for Mayor of Greensboro.
The Harris Partners will be handling all aspects of his campaign - campaign management, strategic counsel, press/media relations, creative development, and social media.
We have managed the last two campaigns for Robbie when he ran for City Council at large, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. As we posted last year, we also were involved in Judge Lindsay Davis' successful reelection campaign for Superior Court Judge.
Robbie will be an excellent Mayor! To learn more, visit www.robbieperkins.com.

ACC Hall of Champions Opens
The new ACC Hall of Champions has opened in Greensboro.
Located at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex near the Special Events Center, the Hall of Champions features kiosks for each of the twelve ACC member schools. There are fabulous interactive exhibits that couture the history and success of sports in the ACC.
I was honored to be asked to attend the ribbon cutting and opening Gala.
When you're next in Greensboro, this is a must stop!

The Harris Partners Receives NC HUB Certification
The Harris Partners has just been certified as a HUB (Historically Underutilized Businesses) firm with the Statewide Uniform Certification (SWUC) Program.
This program was developed for the purposes of streamlining the certification of minority and women-owned businesses and creating a centralized HUB and minority/women business database. This database is used by local and state entities for HUB participation and reporting purposes. In order to be considered for participation in new business pitches, many prospective clients require this certification.
In order to receive our certification, we had to submit several client recommendations. We were so pleased that our clients didn't hesitate to support us in this effort!
This required a lot of work, but it was well worth it!

Photo Shoot at Tryon Palace
So many of my posts this year have been about our work at Tryon Palace - work of which we are extremely proud.
Our positioning for Tryon Palace was approved in April, the creative campaign was chosen in June, so now it was time for the photography shoot. We spent three days last week in New Bern - one of my favorite new places, by the way. We really enjoyed the process and met some great folks along the way. I'm attaching a couple of photos from "behind the scenes".
We expect the print ads to begin running in February 2011.

Topping Off Ceremony for New Cancer Center at Duke
I wrote this time a year ago that we had broken ground at Duke for the new Comprehensive Cancer Center building.
Well, I attended the topping off ceremony last week where the last beam is hoisted into place, along with an evergreen tree to keep "evil spirits" away. We all got to sign the beam before it was lifted away, and I also signed my parents' names and my brother's. They would be so proud to see how far we've come.
It was thrilling, to say the least, to watch that beam be put into place. I've attached a picture here. Look closely, and you can see the white beam and the tree!
The building will be finished in 2012!

Miracles Do Happen!
If you've ever wondered about this, you can stop now!
I wrote a little over a year ago about my dear friend, Dr. Neil Spector, who is an oncologist at Duke. After battling cardiomyopathy for 12 years as a result of Lyme disease, he received a heart transplant in July 2009.
I'm pleased to report that Neil is back at work and thriving! I had lunch with him a couple of weeks ago, and was so grateful to be able to spend some time with him and reflect over the last 16 months. He's writing a book about his experiences over the last 12 years, and I made him promise I'd get one of the first ones - autographed!
Now he's turning his attention to starting the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Clinic at Duke. A terrible disease. How grateful we all are for his vision - and good health!
