Great meeting, and a good "kickoff" to our 2012 season!

12 in attendance, we did some light networking and typical meet and greet stuff over breakfast, followed by some boring chapter "business" items, including the introduction of our new Chapter Board of Directors. Those are:

• D. Kevin Berchelmann, CMC Pres/Pres-Elect
• Gloria Rooney, Secretary & Treasurer
• Robert (Bob) Snell, CMC, Certification Chair
• Thomas (Thom) Holt, Membership Chair
• Emilio (Lin) Giralt, At-Large, likely programs & education (Lin is also our newest member)

Finally, we spent almost an hour on the tabletop professional development topic: 

Marketing Your Consultancy; Marketing Your Self

...and answering the following questions:

1. What works to "get your word out?"
2. How (and why) do you use social media?
3. What would you recommend to a new consultant?

Good, active, and engaged conversations around each table; lots of suggestions, and even some good go-forward ideas for continued, successful, Chapter involvement and participation.

Great group, and I'm privileged to be a part. Thanks for coming, for participating, and for supporting.

Feel free to comment here -- agree, disagree, whatever -- and best regards to all.
