July Meeting
"Great Ideas Contest"
July 13, 2009 - 1060 Building 6th Floor Conference Room
Pizza Served at 5:30 PM - Meeting Starts at 6 PM
The July meeting will be an informal get-together to discuss the "new season" of shows. What can we do to make your meeting experience better? What topic(s) might be conducive for an all-day seminar? Response to the "Project Management Seminar" and the "Video Over IP Seminar" that preceded it was excellent. The Section Managers have come up with some very interesting ideas and you are encouraged to "vote" on them and/or suggest topics you would like to see presented and facilities would you like to tour. This is also the time the baton passes to the new slate officers. For a change of pace, pizza will be provided. Please note a slightly earlier start time as this will likely be a shorter-than-normal meeting. If you can't make it quite that early, please come when you can. You will be welcome whenever you arrive.
Please note that we will not be in our "normal" meeting room. After you pick up your visitor badge from our "normal" building walk across the green and when you get in the 1060 Building, walk as far as you can go then follow the hall around to the left. Two elevators will be waiting to take you to the 6th floor which has a conference room with a very unique view of the city. If you don't have a Turner ID badge, please sign up here for security clearance by noon on July 13th. This list also serves as our headcount for food. A map is provided below.
As we transition to next year's leadership, this seems like an excellent time to thank Mr. TJ Scott for his many hours of dedication, planning meetings, phone calls, and hard work to insure quality meetings over the last two years. The presenters for the "Video Over IP" Seminar were nothing less than outstanding and provided a rich, "commercial free" day for those willing to invest a little personal time to advance their careers. The "Project Management" Seminar is another example of the quality of programs members have come to expect from the local section. Through the efforts of TJ and our slate of Managers we have had some very interesting meetings with diverse topics (such as Digital Cinema) and some fascinating tours (such as The Weather Channel) just to name a few. With your suggestions this trend will continue under the leadership of Ms. Zandra Clarke, our new section chair. So please mark your calendar for July 13th and we will see you soon!
