It’s National Clean Your Desk Day

Today is your chance to start the year with a clean slate and an organized workspace! Whether your desk is in an office, cubicle, home, or just a makeshift space at the counter, uncluttering it will help you work more productively and efficiently.

National Clean Your Desk Day inspires us to refresh the places where we spend so much time and help calm the chaos of the work day!

GTO Updates

ABA and GTO’s Community of Kindness

ABA is quickly approaching and the GTO team is looking forward to catching up with you in Nashville!

As you may already know, we believe strongly in reciprocating the love and support we receive throughout the year.  Part of our efforts include a “giving” campaign at ABA – and last year’s contributions to our hat, mitten, and sock drive did not disappoint.  Thank you!!

This year, the GTO Community of Kindness will benefit the Nashville Rescue Mission. We are asking ABA attendees to donate travel-sized toiletries, socks, undergarments, towels, and washcloths to the Mission.  Monetary contributions of all sizes will also kindly be accepted.

Please join us in helping those who are in need and drop your donations at Booth #1933.  Thank you!!
