1. AGENDA FOR TUESDAY, 11/29/11:
0700-0730: INTRODUCTIONS & ASSISTANCE
During introductions we invite you to give a brief update on what's happening lately for you, and to also mention any networking needs we might be able to help with.

0730-0800: PROGRAM/SPEAKER
BizNet member Don Genna (USAFA '68) will talk about the natural supplement Protandim. This will not be a sales pitch, but rather some sharing of information about this anti-oxidant therapy. www.protandim.com
2. UPCOMING TUESDAY PROGRAMS:

If there's a speaker you'd like to invite, or if you'd like to lead a discussion yourself, just let me know (panicciaj@aol.com) and we'll get it onto the schedule.
3. ARTICLE: U.S. ARMY COMMANDERS ORDERED TO HELP SOLDIERS FIND CIVILIAN WORK
Thanks to Ron Meier (USMA '66) for forwarding this very interesting item. http://www.wpwoundedwarriormentorprogram.com/content/view/537/1/
Might there be some way we (BizNet) can assist local commanders on this?

Agenda for Tuesday, 11/15/11
1. AGENDA FOR TUESDAY, 11/15/11:
0700-0800: OPEN FORUM
We had a great open forum last week. Many thanks to all of you who participated in some really good discussion and productive networking. Let's do it again this week. We'll start with introductions as usual, with more time (since it's open forum) to go into greater depth on what's happening in your world or any networking needs you have. It's also a good opportunity to delve into topics of general interest. So grab some coffee, meet some fellow grads, enjoy the discussion, and build your network in the process.
2. UPCOMING TUESDAY PROGRAMS:
11/22/11: State of the BizNet (Denver)
In years past we regularly scheduled a State of the BizNet discussion about once per quarter, but we haven't had one in quite a while. So let's devote our Nov 22 session to an informal discussion on how we're doing as a group, especially any ways we can enhance the value of our network. We welcome all ideas for discussion, keeping in mind that simple steps often prove the most sustainable.
11/29/11: TBD/Open Forum.
If there's a speaker you'd like to invite for an upcoming Tuesday, or if you'd like to lead a discussion yourself, just let me know (panicciaj@aol.com) and we'll get it onto the schedule.
