You know how much I love political campaigns. I'm pleased to announce that my long-time dear friend Lindsay Davis is running for re-election to the NC Superior Court from District 18. He's asked me to help him with his marketing.
Lindsay is one of the most highly regarded judges in the state. He's exactly the kind of person that we need on the bench.
He's put together a wonderful campaign team, and I'm so honored to be part of it.

Tryon Palace - Biggest Win Yet!
The Harris Partners is pleased to announce that Tryon Palace in New Bern, NC has selected us for their major rebranding effort, including the launch of the new NC History Center, scheduled for August 2010.
This is just the kind of project we like - getting in on the ground floor and starting to rebuild. This project will include three phases. The first will be a strategic analysis of the attraction, its target audience, and competition. The second will focus on the new strategic positioning for Tryon Palace, and the third will be the creative execution of that positioning. We can hardly wait to get started!
The competition for this assignment was fierce. There were six companies in the running, with three finalists selected. And we got the great news today that we won! Smart thinking won out over bricks and mortar!

Breaking Ground on a New Cancer Center at Duke
I've just returned from the groundbreaking for the new $700 million Cancer Center building at Duke. What a wonderful celebration! And what a building! This will make such a difference in the lives of our patients and families. The building should be completed in 2011.
We combined the meetings of both of the Cancer Center boards to help celebrate the groundbreaking. I so enjoy these meetings, as well as seeing wonderful friends.
You may remember my posting in July about my friend, Dr. Neil Spector, regarding his heart transplant. I saw Neil for the first time since his surgery at this meeting, and he really looks wonderful. Everyone was trilled to see him, and I think that was the best medicine he could have. He's back at work now, and trying to get back into his old routine slowly but surely. What a miracle!

Election Night!
Last night was election night here, and I was the campaign manager for my long-time friend Robbie Perkins. He was running for re-election to the Greensboro City Council at large.
Needless to say, he won! I'll take some of the credit, but Robbie is really just what this community needs in terms of leadership. This will mark his 15th year serving on Council, and his accomplishments are well-known and recognized. I'm very proud of him!
We both really enjoy campaigning, so it's been an especially fun three months for us. We'll have to see what 2011 brings!

Another Successful Market
I've just returned from Chicago where the Casual Furnishings industry hosted its annual market at the Merchandise Mart. The market was viewed as a great success! Especially great news, in light of the economy!
Our wonderful client, the International Casual Furnishings Association, hosted its annual Apollo Awards dinner on the night before the market closed, and it was held in the refurbished Union Station. I hadn't been in that building since I lived in Chicago, and the renovation was breathtaking. The dinner was a great success, and the two videos we produced for the Lifetime Achievement Award winners were very favourably received. I love this project and will be looking forward to 2010!

Rankin King Farm Opens
Beacon Management's newest project opened today! Rankin King Farm was dedicated at a wonderful reception this afternoon.
I am very proud of my client and friend, George Carr, CEO of Beacon Management. George has a 30+ year career in real estate with particular emphasis in the areas of managing, developing and financing low and moderate income apartment communities. Utilizing a wide range of financing techniques, he has developed over $125 million of affordable rental housing.
These communities include conventional housing, mixed income and tax credit properties, substantially rehabilitated historic and non-historic properties and other affordable housing communities developed and assisted under a variety of city, state, and federal programs.
George has developed several properties with significant historical roots in the communities in which they are located. Rankin King Farm is one of them. He preserved the original house on the property and turned it into a community center for the residents. It's just beautiful and so exciting to see the new residents' pride in where they live.
The Harris Partners helped position this new property and sourced items that were given to residents and guests at the opening. For a rendering of this new property, see our News and Events Image Gallery.
