UPDATE: Apparently, as of right now, my blog comes up first when anyone does a search for “Keys for the Homeless” on Google and not their website. Therefore, please visit KEYS at keysforthehomeless.org and please support their mission! Back to the post…

I’m in Washington D.C. right now, participating in a Business Strategy Case Competition sponsored by Georgetown. We got our cases yesterday at about noon and we’ve been working non-stop ever since, breaking only to eat. The presentation is on Saturday, but I think we worked about 8 hours yesterday and we’re hoping to get in another 14 hours today.

It’s grueling, but fun because the topic is non-profit organizations and the case is about a real non-profit who is looking for ideas to expand their operations. The impression we’re getting is that our mock “consultant” role could really change and better their organization if we presented them ideas that are feasible and well-thought out. Basically, KEYS for the Homeless gets donations from hotels of gently-used items and delivers them to local homeless shelters in the Washington D.C. area.

Anyway, hopefully, we can go back to Emory having represented Goizueta well and having dome some good. Wish us luck!
