0700-0800: Introductions, Assistance, and Open Forum Networking.
We can help with referrals, advice, job search assistance, and other networking needs. You're also welcome to bring up any interesting news or topics for discussion, Often those impromptu discussions end up being some of our most interesting topics, which even generates further networking benefits.
2. SPEAKER SCHEDULE:
22 Mar (this week): Open Networking
29 Mar: Karen Susman returns to speak with us again after her well-received presentation back in January. In that session she discussed networking skills. This time she will focus on presentation skills. She is a professional communications coach with 30 years of experience in speaking, consulting, and coaching. Her client list includes Marriott Hotels, NBC, American Express, CH2M Hill, American Council of Engineering Companies, University of Denver, Inc. Magazine, and many others. www.karensusman.com

If there's a speaker you'd like to invite for an upcoming Tuesday, just let me know at panicciaj@aol.com.
Remember that you can be the speaker yourself. Got an interesting topic or a problem that you'd like to put to the group? Or maybe you gained new insight from a business book or a conference. Those are just a few examples of great topics for leading a discussion.
