CHOOSE HOW TO PARTICIPATE!
Taking care of our home planet is an everyday commitment, but this month, in honor of
Earth Day, we are especially focused on keeping our land healthy and safe. During the
week of April 20 -24, you are invited to get involved and participate as Innsbrook continues
its green activism that started on “day one” in 1982.
With lots of ways to participate, you can do your part and even have a bit of fun with your
colleagues. On Thursday, April 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the Go Green Festival will
get you out of the office with food trucks, a farmer’s market and multiple recycling events.
Bring old electronics, documents for shredding and donations for Goodwill, and lighten
your home’s clutter for spring while you’re at it! Plus, visit the Chick-fil-A cow handing out
FREE coupons!

NEW 2015 LOCATION: Hilton Garden Inn
of Innsbrook | 4050 Cox Road
NEW MEETING DAY: Mondays
Join us at our next breakfast where Mark Fernandes, Chief Leadership Officer for Luck
Companies, speaks about “Adding Value To Your Brand.”
Mark will be dialing it up and dialing you in on the buzz surrounding branding and the
components of branding that are critical to growing a business that has equity in the marketplace. If you want your business to stand out in the crowd and properly define your strengths and assets
in a very competitive market, this is a presentation not to be missed. Mark brings an impressive
curriculum vitae as an inspirational speaker and value-based leader to the Executives’ Breakfast —
he was recently selected as one of the 100
Top Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business

Shift’s Top 75 Human Business Champions.
This will serve to be an energized morning so
join us for breakfast, Mark, and the Breakfast
Series Team as we kick off business and
breakfast together.
IT’S READY—SET—GO TRIATHLON
On May 3, the Liberty University Online Academy East Coast Triathlon Festival
returns to Innsbrook as one of three national races in which youth and junior
elite triathletes compete for a chance to qualify for the National Championships
held in Ohio in August. Now in its third year, the day of racing has become an
early season highlight for local, national and Canadian athletes. Many of these
athletes are competing to become future Olympians with the goal of making
the team in 2016 or 2020.
The festival is very spectator-friendly, as all races are completed on a course
completely closed to traffic with multiple loops encircling the viewing area.
Bring your entire family out to the race and be part of one of the most unique
triathlon experiences in the country. Volunteer to help on the day of the event or
join us to cheer on the athletes. Some 1,000 spectators are anticipated for this
major sporting event.
The race and expo will be held at 4600 Cox Road in the Markel parking lots with
Innsbrook as its beautiful backdrop. Stay tuned to Innsbrook.com for more details.
Thank you to our sponsor.
