1. Growing your business – One of our primary missions is to provide a vehicle to grow the businesses of our members. Our Membership Committee is already hard at work creating ways to enhance business development and business referral opportunities among our members. This is, and will continue to be, one of the main objectives of our chapter.
2. Professional training – Our chapter is committed to providing the very best in professional development training to our members. In addition to informative monthly meeting speakers, our chapter provides daylong CPE seminars on timely topics. For example, the "Behind the Headlines” seminar held in May 2004 offered a rare inside look into fraud investigations at Tyco, WorldCom, and Ground. We also have additional seminars planned for Fiscal Year 2006. Members/affiliates receive substantial discounts to all of our seminars.
