I didn't know what the Forum on Education Abroad was until someone told me about it, but apparently it is a big deal for people in the study abroad world. And I am really interested in working with study abroad organizations for a number of reasons:
So, I decided that the Forum on Education Abroad (or just "Forum" to those in the know) was a good place for me to spread the word about Bags for the Ocean. Lots of emails later, we were able to give out reusable bags at the Forum in Boston this year! We gave out over 100 bags and talked to lots of organizations about our project and how they can get involved. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I'm excited to see what comes from all this networking. Here are the volunteers getting ready to distribute bags at FORUM and let people know about Bags for the Ocean and how they can get involved. FORUM actually had its own sponsored tote bags that it gave to all participants, which gave me an idea. I'm going to look for a local conference and see if Bags for the Ocean can provide all the conference bags. I know this presents a few problems:
Thanks, FORUM, for inspiring this plan, and for helping me reach out to so many amazing organizations!
