We’re all looking forward to a great spring filled with innovation and success for SEBs and the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. To start with, I’m happy to announce that this newsletter is doing exactly what we intended it to do — keep us connected. It has an open rate of nearly 40% — that’s nearly double the average open rate for newsletters. Thanks for reading and please share with anyone you think would be interested.

This month we are featuring the SEB Connect App 2.0, which we launched at the last “WIN” event. You asked for MORE and that’s exactly what we’ve delivered. If you haven’t already done so, download it now and let us know what you think. Our social media feeds have been full of information about current opportunities, outreach activities, SEBO program successes, and stakeholder events. If you aren’t following us on Facebook and LinkedIn, we encourage you to like us now!

And of course, we’re all looking forward to the 2023 Morial Awards, one of the big highlights of the year. You’ll find info about the ceremony on May 25th and nomination deadlines in this newsletter. Please save the date and make plans to attend.

Until next time, thanks for staying connected. Together, we will continue to do great things.

Rocsean Spencer  Director, SEB Program
