Greetings!
You've survived the derecho and record heat so now it's time to cool off and relax a little. I want to personally invite you out to our LinkedIn Live BBQ on August 9 at the CAER. We're going to enjoy great food, drink, music and networking on the patio. Reconnect with folks you haven't seen in a while and make some new connections too. Whether you are on LinkedIn or not, please come out and be a part of the fun and bring some folks with you. Our Technology Community is growing, come meet our newest members. And you never know who might show up...don't miss it!
Sincerely, Jonathan Whitt, Executive Director
