Message from Andrea
Hi Everyone!  Wonderful to have you with us.   This month we talk to Susan Au Allen, originally from Hong Kong and now one of the US’s top diversity advocates; Robina Oliver, an expat entrepreneur with a dangerously curvy business in Mexico; Michelle Goodman, freelancer extraordinaire; and Thomas Speckhardt of Youth Compass – a unique organization creating positive experiences for expat teens.
Thanks go to: Margie Warrell, for her article about Perfectionism; The Permits Foundation, for the results of their recent Expatriate Spouse and Partner Survey; and our Expat Women Girlfriend, for her answer to the confession: I Think I Am An Alcoholic.
We are very excited to launch this month our Win US$1000 For Your Club Promotion.  Please support us and try to win some money for your expat club/association or international school.
Finally, a huge thank you to Clements Worldwide for upgrading their support to Silver Sponsorship.
Have a great February!
