Turn the World UN Blue “Turn the World UN Blue” is a global UN campaign DO YOU KNOW THESE ICP LEADERS? by the United Nations Department of Public Information to light important buildings, monuments, landscapes and iconic structures around the world in “UN Blue” to mark the 70th anniversary on 24 October, 2015, and mark United Nations Day. Images and videos of the lighted structures will be part of a large-scale press and social media outreach effort using the hashtag #UN70, and will be seen by millions of people around the world. We encourage DPI-associated NGOs to participate in this initiative, and develop your own, innovative initia- tives at the local level to join in the spirit of turning the world UN Blue for this worldwide celebration. You may choose to partner with a local authority, or another NGO, or work independently. If you use electricity to “turn UN blue” we encourage low carbon options such as energy efficient light bulbs or renewable energy technology when possible. No effort would be considered too small, and we look forward to seeing innovative NGO solutions to “turning the world UN Blue” in every corner of the globe. Please post photos and videos on social media platforms using the hashtag #UN70 – including Twitter, Facebook, Insta- gram, Snapchat and other platforms. This campaign offers a unique opportunity for NGOs associated with the De- partment of Public Information to showcase their commit-

ment to the UN to a global audience, and help promote the message of peace, development and human rights for all. We will be watching social media on the day, and in the meantime queries or information about your plans can be sent to section4d[at]un[dot]org.

ICP is a great Nancy Quatrano organization at $100 a year, but now for $50? It’s the best offer in the industry. There is no limit to the value of the student members, either. Their energy, innovative ideas and knowledge of technology will ensure that ICP, Inc. continues to grow and thrive as the valuable mentoring and support organi- zation that it has been for almost 75 years, now. On the other side of the balance sheet are expenses. I am one of your largest ones. The only larger expense is the conference, which for the past two years, has relied on operations funds and donations along with conference funds to break even. But I can tell you from physically being at this conference, the conference is a very valuable annual event, for members and new members alike. There is nothing that can compare with face to face discussions and revelations. There is no practice for a young professional to learn to do presentations, that is better than to present in a professional, yet kind environ- ment such as this conference. But back to expenses that member involvement can reduce? Someone has the graphic skills, patience and technical knowhow to do this newsletter production. I wish I could impart how valuable this work has been for me. I’ve learned exciting and powerful things; I’ve grown as a person as well as a production person. But, this is something those wonderful new students could manage, I would bet my next cup of tea on that! And how about taking on the ever-unpopular office of the treasurer? Now that may not be a student role, at least not early on, but someone in our membership can do this and could mentor others to step in down the road. No organization can exist without members to volun- teer to help with all the many tasks that need doing not only to keep the organization going from a Board per- spective, but for it to grow and meet its goals and objec- tives.
