"Things I WOULD NOT HAVE without the Tuesday meetings..."~ GINA BUCHARD, Alumnae

 " It's very supporting to know how many strong, talented people are in the same boat AND are positive/optimistic about it.  The energy of the meeting is an emotional boost.  Lisa's determined/positive attitude is encouraging, and the discipline of getting my energy up to match hers is good for me.  The face-to-face contacts and the extended network I have developed through the table exchanges.  The friends I have made through volunteering.  One job and several good referrals by people I MET AT THE MEETING.  Information about the events, workshops, initiatives, activites that I would otherwise not get.  Feeling that I am part of something positive and effective, and the opportunity to become involved with career-building activites (CAMs, CMGs).   My being visible at the meeting keeps me in other people's minds when leads turn up. "
