Thank you for your interest in the NAFE Westchester Local Chapter.
 
As we are busily pursuing next steps, we are sending a little reminder that the deadline for charter membership is coming soon (December 10th.)  For those who are already members of NAFE National, the fee is less.  
 
With the assistance of Karen Hass, we are looking for a meeting location for our group. Thank you, Karen, for volunteering. If anyone else can assist, that would be helpful.
 
Our first speaker at our next meeting on January 13th will be Stacey Cohen, President of Co-Communications, Inc. Stacey will be speaking about starting and growing a new business. She has tremendous experience and expertise in this topic. We all thank you Stacey in advance for taking the time to present and discuss this at our meeting. More about Stacey below.
 
The brainstorming topics focused on creating and expanding businesses. We started receiving Advisory Board applications.  Our LinkedIn membership and eNewsletter distribution lists are growing.
 
There will not be a holiday gathering. 
 
Please join, please volunteer to help on committees and please volunteer to lead a committee. That is what will make our group a success.
