An enthusiast in devising creative ways to engage employees with detailed and deadline-oriented messaging, I was among the first to promote digital signage for its key benefits and advantages for employee communication. In my role at MediaTile, I work closely with customers to access their digital signage network needs and recommend effective deployment scenarios, and impactful, influential employee-related content.
I am also on the board for the Hoosier Chapter of PRSA and the Butler University Alumni Board of directors.

The crew on an Aer Lingus flight between Dublin and Paris accidentally played the wrong French-language public announcement, and thus mistakenly warned French-speaking passengers of an emergency landing. One English-speaking passenger was quoted as saying, "All the French totally freaked out." [From: Telegraph]
Whoops.
It’s all pretty simple: the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is starting to require airlines to collect specific passenger information as reservations are made, including: passengers’ names, gender, and date-of-birth. Full implementation expected in early 2010.
IMPORTANT: Passenger reservation names must match passengers’ government ID. Are you prepared?
1.) What’s a government-issued ID? The most common are driver’s licenses or passports. Check with the TSA for more examples - ID’s must include name, gender and DOB. Fishing licenses and library cards don’t cut it.
2.) What if the name I reserved my flight under doesn’t match my ID name? You may not fly. Sometimes, especially so early in the program, throwing yourself on the mercy of a TSA agent may work, but it’s time consuming and you may miss your flight.
Smart Tips: Study your ID carefully before you make the reservation - does it say Jim or James? Whatever it says, make sure it matches your ID. And if anyone makes your plane reservations for you, be sure they have the correct name, gender and DOB info on you.
I encountered this in the UK more than two years ago. I had to convince the ticketing agent that "Chuck" is short for "Charles." It was an uncomfortable situation.

Southwest Air to charge $10 to board early
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The early bird gets the overhead baggage space -- at least on Southwest Airlines Co.
Dallas-based Southwest said on Wednesday it started charging passengers $10 each way to board flights before general check-in starts, but after premium passengers, including those flying Business Select.
The service, known as EarlyBird Check-in, is available for purchase starting on Wednesday for flights beginning on Thursday, September 3. The offering allows passengers to select seats and secure overhead bin space, said Southwest, which does not typically assign seats.
