Tip of the Month
Ask yourself what your goals are in participating in networking meetings so that you will pick groups that will help you get what you are looking for. Some meetings are based more on learning, making contacts, and/or volunteering rather than on strictly making business connections

 Greetings!
It's March, and it's still raining. But it's also time for our
next great ISES Northern California Chapter event!

an employee, are you insured by your place of employment? Do you even
know? Join ISES-NCC on March 23rd, 2010 at The City Club of San Francisco
where Larry Cossio, owner of Cossio Insurance, will be answering
all your questions about insurance for the special event industry. This is a
meeting you definitely don't want to miss.
The
beginning of Spring is a busy time for our chapter, as chapter elections also
begin this month. Please let us know if you are interested in joining the
board, chairing a committee or just volunteering to help us plan an event or
two. Keep your eyes peeled...we'll be sending information out later this month
with everything you need to know about chapter elections.
And
finally, a highlight of a few final important dates for the remainder of our
2009-2010 ISES year. (Can you believe it's more than half over?) More
