Stars Align at Wolf Trap with Cadillac Display, Media Networking and Al Green Concert

August 27, 2012 4:29 pm ET

On Friday, August 24, several of the top media and communications professionals from the D.C. area spent an evening mixing and mingling at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts prior to the Al Green performance.  Our pre-show reception not only included quality networking time, but also time to get better acquainted with two of General Motors’ finest vehicles, the Cadillac XTS and Cadillac SRX.

Clarence Davis, from GM Communications in D.C., was on-hand to host members from the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), the Washington Association of Black Journalists (WABJ), the Washington Automotive Press Association (WAPA), CNN and USA Today.  Special guests for the evening included Donna Walker, the president of WABJ, Alvin Jones, the president of WAPA and Bryan Monroe from CNN.

Throughout the reception, guests were able to experience the Cadillac XTS and Cadillac SRX courtesy of Moore Cadillac.  Elliott Banks, from Moore, provided guests with the full Cadillac User Experience (CUE) on the Cadillac XTS.  The CUE’s first-of-its-kind technology is everything the tech-savvy driver wants it to be – a full suite of infotainment, navigation and communication tools, while maintaining simplicity of use for us non-technophiles.
