CELEBRATING CONNECTIONS in the Events Community

Ah, the simple pleasures of the funny pages. Although times are tough right now, 2010 is around the corner and we are all hoping for a better economy. In the meantime, I will clean my desk and gear up for a new year. Keeping in touch with past clients and marketing to new clients is a job in itself. Luckily, the tools we have now make it a bit simpler. And if you need help, marketing genius Mark Ley will be at our next educational program to demystify the art of Social Media Marketing. Join us to learn more and celebrate our friendships at the Charles Schulz M. Museum on Dec 15, 2009.

ISES is offering a great discount for membership in the month of December, more details are listed in this newsletter. The Special Event Conference in New Orleans is coming up January 12-15, 2010 and offering a vast source of education and networking opportunities. Dana Macaulay, our President Elect, has been awarded a scholarship from the SEARCH Foundation to attend.

Our calendar has been updated, for more information on dates and programs, visit our events page. Let me know what you would like to see from our chapter. We are growing and welcome your input and participation.
