We recently moved into a 9,000 square foot building only a couple of blocks from our old location.  We simply outgrew our accommodations, as we seem to do every three to five years.  For this Grand Opening, we wanted to do something special. Instead of giving our usual door prize display to an unsuspecting lucky attendee, we presented a nonprofit organization, Life Options Academy, with a new six-foot Sirius tabletop display manufactured by Nomadic Display valued at $1,200.  The presentation took place after speeches given by two State Senators who came to show their support of what EXHIB-IT! is doing to help the New Mexico business community.  

Life Options Academy (LOA), a 501c3 corporation, helps New Mexico teen moms transform their lives and break the cycle of poverty and abuse that teen parenting perpetuates. Now in its fourth year of operation, the organization operates in a newly purchased private home located in a quiet and safe neighborhood.  The home provides a safe haven for young girls to begin rebuilding their lives with love and support.

We selected Life Options Academy to receive what we titled, The Empowering Exhibitor’s Display, because the organization is very forward thinking.  Life Options Academy and its staff offer solutions through empowering young girls and giving them the tools they need to become successful mothers and independent women.  

Life Options Academy CEO, Jane Dixon, accepted the display before 175 members of the business community.  She explained to the onlookers, “Our community needs to know about the Academy to both support and utilize resources this organization provides.  Having this top-of-the-line Nomadic display will help Life Options Academy get more hands-on visibility at trade shows and events. Thank you, Nomadic Display and EXHIB-IT! for your help in bringing this organization’s greatest assets to light.”

Before the end of the evening, we welcomed 400 attendees at our Grand Open House between 5 pm and 8 pm.  We welcomed guest speakers from four political offices and had ribbon cuttings conducted by three chambers of commerce.  Many local business and non-profit organizations were present to take advantage of the networking opportunity provided by such high attendance.  Our event was such a success that we intend to hold another networking event next year of this size and magnitude.

I am sure by now you have booked your hotel and registered for the learning sessions if you’re heading to the Exhibitor Show in Las Vegas on March 10-12. With that said, let me give you a preview of what to expect at the Nomadic Display booth (Booth 1137) during the event.

This year’s show has given us the opportunity to formally launch our new line of accessories for Instand, our most popular portable display. You will be able to get a good look on how our latest accessories can provide a fresh and dimensional appeal to a Nomadic pop up display you already own or plan to purchase.

And when you participate in any of our live presentations at the booth, you will receive an Instand-inspired picture frame and Event Professional CD. But wait - there’s more! At the end of each presentation, we will draw one winner who will receive a lightweight Nomadic banner stand valued at $160.

This year, we’ve also chosen to highlight and support the cause of one of our distributors, Iowa-based Brainstorm Marketing. For the duration of the exhibition, we will be collecting brand-new pajamas for women at our booth. These pajamas will be provided to victims of domestic violence who have sought refuge in crisis support shelters.

If you’re interested in donating a set of pajamas, just drop it off during show hours at our display booth 1137 or at Mandalay Bay’s Palm Room E on March 10 at 5:30 pm. We look forward to seeing you at the show and if you still need Exhibitor VIP passes to gain free entry to the trade show hall, just email me at marketing@nomadicdisplay.com.

New Mexico-based EXHIB-IT! (spearheaded by one of the state’s most admired women entrepreneurs, DJ Heckes) has been involved with the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) New Mexico chapter. EXHIB-IT! donated a 10-foot Nomadic display with lights, for use at one of MADD's most widely recognized programs, The Victim Impact Panels. The display was used to mount photos of people whose lives were taken by drunk drivers. These panels speak for the victims of drunk driving and allow them to share their story with DUI offenders, whose attendance in these programs is often court-mandated. The success of this program has been extensively documented since it’s launch in 1982.

To further support the MADD’s advocacy efforts, Nomadic together with EXHIB-IT! and Custom Color contributed $1,500 to MADD during its annual Strides for Change Walk. The event was a success and raised over $30,000 this past October.

MADD has helped save over 300,000 lives since its inception and we, at Nomadic are proud to be part of the organization’s noble cause of educating people on the dangers of drunk driving.

I walk a lot. I walk for health and I walk for pleasure. But I’ve never walked for a charitable cause. So when the chance to participate in a charity walk came along two months ago, I missed it.

Not only that. I also missed the chance to be part of Nomadic’s corporate social responsibility program. Yes, Nomadic takes this type of responsibility so seriously that they “walk” extra miles (not just a mile) to prove it.

But those extra miles paid off. Nomadic has raised over $3,500 for March of Dimes, the organization who advocates for the fight against birth defects.

Statistics show that every year, more than 120,000 babies are born with serious birth defects that can mean a lifetime of disability.

So if you missed the walk or simply didn’t now anything about it, you can still do your part in saving babies from birth defects. You can make a donation by visiting the Nomadic Walkers page at http://www.walkamerica.org/382014. Donations will be accepted until June 30.

And remember these words from Winston Churchill, “You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.”
