President's Letter October 2011

Val

Greetings!

 

Fall has arrived and I'm sure you are all very busy during this time with events.  It's the best time of the year and we have some great things coming up.

 

Thank you to all of those who came out to the beautiful Laurent Studios for our September program.  It was a huge success.  We had a fabulous speaker, Rich Sweeney, join us to speak about creating your sales road map to success.  I know I left excited about sales opportunities that lie ahead.  From the amazing food of LaBonne Cuisine to the fantastic drinks from Tonic Beverage Company to the sounds of Oye Productions, it was a great program.  Don't forget to check out the pictures of this event taken by Gustavo Fernandez Photography.  Click here.

 

As part of our theme this year of "Live, Laugh, Learn" we are trying a couple of new things this year.  One of the new things we are trying a Networking Happy Hour Mixer.  This is a great opportunity to network after work and meet new people.  Our first one is being held at Roe Nightclub on October 20th.  Click here to sign up.

 

We are also going to hold our first joint meeting with MPINCC on November 15th at Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco.  The topic will be "The Big Bang: How to Produce Events with Impact".  Stay tuned for more information and when to sign up.  This is one program you won't want to miss.

 

Also in October, we will be introducing Brown Bag Lunches to prepare you to take the CSEP.  Have you signed up to take this test?  I plan to take it in January.  Who wants to join me??

 

Have a great October and hope to see you on the 20th.

President, ISES-NCC

September Meeting Recap
 sept meeting 2

ISES-NCC's 2011-2012 Calendar year is off to a great start if the event on September 20th is any indication. Over 70 members & guests, including Michelle Obama, turned out on a perfect San Francisco day to Laurent Studios. Following a signature cocktail or two courtesy of Tonic Beverage Catering, we got down to business with compelling and informative session by Sales Consultant and Executive Trainer Rich Sweeney. Rich, in his signature energetic communication style, helped us identify how our personal strengths will make us more successful as well as led us on a great discussion of creating a sales process - not just selling. And kudos to Nate at Denon & Doyle for your AV support!

 

Next guests returned to the stunning main gallery of Laurent Studios and enjoyed a lush and full buffet lunch provided by LaBonne Cuisine Catering and Events while listening to the great sounds of a guitarist generously provided by Oye Productions, sitting at impeccable tables designed by Classic Party Rentals and SoulFlower Floral Design. Did you miss the event? Don't worry, thanks to our friend and sponsor Gustavo Fernandez, event photos can be viewed here.

 

And, on behalf of the ISES-NCC board, we do want to extend a special thank you to all of the sponsors for Septmber 20th event. The events we produce could not be possible without your incredible talent and support!
