The forum seems quiet, not much activity, so do we have drinks on Friday night?

I find professional groups stiff, they dont seem to know how to relax and enjoy themselves either that or they go overboard, drink too much and make fools of themselves.

Networking is a valuable tool in the development of the 21st century manager. Yes i agree you do have networking groups with a guest speaker, but what about just a networking group no guest speaker, where people can meet and get to know one another. Invitation to ALL members. Could even be a meet and greet type networking theme.

Im sure one of your corporate sponsers would agree to even funding such an event.

It would also be a way of informing members what's on, or what's coming. Im not suggesting every Friday night, once a month , once every two months, or have I missed them.

Anyhow just a thought, but what do you think??

I totally agree with you, I believe networking is a vital and invaluable tool for developing managers.

We are in the process of organising a lot more events for Members and Non-members to attend. Look out for these in 2010. We are interested in what it is you want and need as a manager. So please feel free to contribute any ideas you have.

I will certainly take your idea of networking groups into consideration and see what we can do. Its a very exciting time as we plan for next year and I am looking forward to engaging with Members a lot more.

Thank you again for your comments
