Do You Have Your Networking Resoultions Lined Up in 2012

Are you ready for 2012? Do you have your networking resolutions all written out and in front of you?  Are you gearing up to attend the many networking events all across Southwest Florida?

Lets' start out by inviting you to the Commercial  Sales Industry Professionals (CSIP) Networking event on Monday, January 9th  beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the  Trianon Hotel in Bonita Springs. For only $5.00 you can meet and mingle with the finest professionals in the area, enjoy plenty of good food, cash bar and great door prizes.

 CSIP has been gathering for over 6 years and began as a trade’s only group, however, since the economy was failing, our group wanted to open their arms to help everyone continue their networking.  You will meet architects, engineers, (civil and landscape) contractors, and others in the trade industry.  You will also find marketing professionals, bankers and others who are a great resource for your business.

 Another not to miss networking event is on Friday, January 13^th as my friend Cat Foster is celebrating the opening of her new insurance business, Cat Foster Insurance in conjunction with her birthday.  She’s located in Brooks Executive Center in Bonita Springs. Please stop by for some great workshops, networking and of course, birthday cake.

 Finally, as the president of the European American Network ( EAN) I invite you to come to our 2^nd   annual European American Small Business Awards Luncheon, Tuesday, January 17^th at Bonita Bay. Cost is $25 for members and $35 for guest  This is a great opportunity to learn more about European and American businesses.  www.europeanamericannetwork.com

Dr. Hudson Rogers, Dean of Lutgert College of Business at Florida Gulf Coast University, is our speaker and awards presenter.

Enjoy your 2012 make great connections and lets make it the best year ever. I know that I plan too!
