The view from Aaron Nelson's hotel room in Kuala Lumpur.Aaron Nelson, the CEO and President of our Chamber of Commerce, has left the country.

As a result of the Chamber’s efforts in sustainability initiatives, Aaron was invited to represent our Chamber at the biennial World Chamber Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

“We have never participated in this conference before,” he emails, “but this year the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber was invited to present to the delegates about our nationally recognized Green Plus Program and our innovative partnership with Duke and UNC Chapel Hill called the Institute for Sustainable Development.

Aaron sent along the message that, “For those of you who are interested, I will be regularly updating my facebook page and posting to twitter as I am able. So ‘friend’ me or follow me on Twitter at AaronNelson1.”

On a personal note, Aaron, thanks for bringing a copy of Chapel Hill Magazine along for the ride (see photo with The Petronas Twin Towers in the background). This significantly increases our Malaysian circulation.
