Dear Friends,
How are you? It's already August and I don't know how the time flew!
If you strictly want information about our next event, please
look at the links to the right and go to Event Registration. Before you go, please check out the
links at the bottom of this page.
Many thanks to Karen Duffy, Galina Karpinska, SPHR-CA and Margaret Almeida for planning last month's networking party. I was delayed so badly in traffic that I missed it, and I was so sorry! I heard from several people how much fun they had and that new friendships were forming. We really appreciate the space Lori Baerenstecher of Filice Insurance provided and for Filice's warm hospitality.
I have a personal update: I'm working on another book and you're invited to help. I have written two books: "Recruiters on Recruiting" and "Strained Relations: Help for Struggling Parents of Troubled Teens." (Available on websites or in-person; I've always got books in the trunk.)
For around four years, I've been thinking about producing two more, and I'm starting to work on one with the topic "here's what happened at work - you won't believe it" stories from HR professionals and employment lawyers. These can be funny stories, the "OMG!" events, anything you think would be interesting, surprising and of value to others. You can participate electronically or by personal interview, and you can use your own name or I can make up a name for you. Please see my site for details; I hope to hear from you!
I'm relieved and grateful to tell you we have spaces for our events this year. Next year - that's a whole other topic! Please start thinking now if your company can commit to hosting us a couple of times next year.

This is a reminder that I am going to move us away from maintaining the Forum and encourage you to use our LinkedIn Group for posting. This will be a gradual change on the technical side. More people are using LinkedIn than the forum at this point, and it has been challenging to register people, help them through password problems and other maintenance issues. It served a great purpose for a long time, and it was all my husband's idea. Bill is an Electrical Engineer but he learned some code, set up our board, and taught me how to update and maintain it. Many people have posted resumes, jobs and events over the years, and I know a lot of people found work as a result. It honestly makes me very happy and proud to know it was so successful. Thank you, Bill!

8. Notifying us of upcoming events and discounts. If you email me right after I’ve sent a mailing, I can update the website, but I can’t send a separate mailing to the group. It will be in the next mailing.Because of my commitments I can’t mentor you, and please don’t send me unsolicited resumes. Come to an event and meet someone who can help. I receive a lot of unsolicited resumes (from our group and strangers) and I refer people to our LinkedIn Group. See the blog post for more thoughts. http://marciastein.blogspot.com/2009/02/setting-boundaries-and-professionalism.html
