Dinner and Annual Planning Meeting

On Monday, December 3, 2012 the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ (www.TechnologyOnTap.org) will host a networking dinner and its annual Planning Meeting.

ABOUT THE TOPIC

Annual end-of-year meeting of the IEEE Consultants' Network is intended to be a strategic planning event for Network members and for consultants who are considering membership in the Network.

The main purpose of the meeting is to discuss ideas and expectations for the various Network functions in the upcoming year. This Working Session is traditionally an open, informal forum to to determine whether the IEEE-CNNNJ is providing the service and support that our members need..

.We will review the purpose of our organization and in the scope of its activities. The floor will be open to suggestions for improvements, recommendations of Network directions and proposals of new feature topics for the general meetings.

The discussion will chart the course for 2013; certain major functions performed by the IEEE Consultants' Network are always open to reconsideration and to continuing input. These include:

* Focus of our group: publicity efforts and member networking
* Group Marketing & Image Building - CNNNJ Website and alternate publicity methods
* Monthly General Meetings - suggested feature topics
* Alternate general meeting formats

The December meeting is open to all. Non-members, who are interested in our activites or who are considering joining the group, are strongly encouraged to participate in the planning session to gain in-depth insight into our organization.

The meeting will commence with a dinner, which is open to all. Please see details of the venue, schedule and dinner cost, below.
