Weekly News & Agenda for Tuesday, 11/11/14

1. AGENDA FOR TUESDAY, 11/11/14:

0700-0730:  Introductions & Assistance.

0730-0800:  State of the Biznet.  This is a discussion we used to have in years past -- we would dedicate a Biznet session a few times each year to focus on how we're doing, what we could do better or differently, etc.  It feels like a good time now to have one of those discussions.  Come and join us on Tuesday morning, with your ideas and your input.  We'd love to hear what you have to say about any new or different ways we can help each other, to keep strengthening the grad network.

2. SPEAKER SCHEDULE:

11/11/14 (this week):  State of the Biznet - see above.

Biznet member Bill Sumner (USMA '78) writes as follows.  If you can assist, please contact Bill directly at his email address as shown below.   

My wife and I need help, as sole owners of an LLC in figuring out the best way to self-insure...who in this network has a frickin’ clue?

I would be very grateful, and...whatever I discover, if anyone else would like to piggyback on my research, I will be glad to make available to you.

 

Please and thank you!

4.  CONGRATS TO AIR FORCE FOOTBALL:

 

I witnessed the unfortunate result of Saturday's Army-Air Force game at West Point, as I was attending my 30-yr reunion.  A raw day -- what many would call "football weather" - but raw in more ways than one.  Congrats to Air Force.
