Message from Brian...
Hello and thank you for reading our latest edition. As our recent International Expo took place in San Francisco and many members were unable to make the trip, we are pleased to offer another speaker and topic fresh from the Expo. In October, Jeff Bridges gave us a great presentation on Ethics and I hope everyone left the event thinking about "doing the right thing". Well our November meeting promises to be just as insightful as our own Anita Castora and Jason Stearns will present their "Train the Trainer" session. Anita and Jason presented at the International Expo and we are quite pleased to have them in our own backyard. One of our goals is to provide the membership with useful information in hopes that what we present on Tuesday night, can be put to use on Wednesday morning. This month's meeting exemplifies that in every way.
As always please feel free to let anyone on the Board know if there is a topic of interest to you and we will try our best to deliver.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at Baci Grill on the 30th... With Regards,
Brian F. Paul
President, ARMA Connecticut Chapter
