Please join Aging & Disability Network of Saratoga County on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 2-3:30 p.m. at Malta Community Center, 1 Bayberry Drive, Ballston Spa (click here for directions) for our first ever Speed Networking event. This event will accelerate your opportunity to connect with numerous Aging & Disability Network members!
For those not familiar with speed networking it is intended to provide one-on-one contact with all attendees. The challenge to each "presenter" is to communicate the value that their service provides to others. The value to each "audience" is how their agency or clients will benefit from them knowing about the presenter's agency.
Be sure to practice your 30 second elevator pitch. You will be given a total of 90 seconds for both you and a fellow network member (standing directly across from you) to exchange information before you shift to the right to exchange information with a new network member. Come prepared with enough marketing materials for 60 people and only what you can comfortably carry. We will supply you with a bag to carry the materials you receive as you are networking with other members. Note that this will be fast paced, you will be standing throughout the meeting and it's particularly important to arrive on time, but keep in mind it will be fun and informative.
Please let me know if you will be attending at sosdevelopment@nycap.rr.com or contact me with any questions. Feel free to extend the invitation to others you think would be interested in participating.
Finally, I would like to thank St. Edward the Confessor Church for hosting last month’s meeting as well as the informative Mental Health Awareness Panelists including Amber Christian Osterhout, Saratoga County Citizens Committee for Mental Health Board Member, and mental health advocate, Marge Zak of Saratoga NAMI and Brenda Quinn, Director of Community Outreach, Four Winds. Meeting minutes to follow.
Regards,
Cindy Harrington
