0700-0800: OPEN FORUM
During the Open Forum we expand on our normal roundtable introductions, providing an opportunity to talk in more detail about what's new for you or anything we can help with. We also discuss topics of common interest, with particular focus on business trends, veterans' issues, employment opportunities, and service academy news. Grab some coffee and join us Tuesday morning for productive discussion and general networking.
