Executive Job-Seekers Confer Wednesday the 12th in Oakton

Five months old in March, the Northern Virginia "BENG" chapter offers a friendly atmosphere... Contacts for the unemployed, the employed, and the self-employed... An emotionally supportive environment for those in career-transition... Feedback, innovative ideas, and other help for the resilient networker.

"BENG" stands for Business Executives Networking Group, a non-profit association for mid- to senior-level professionals. And there's NO COST to attend these afternoon meetings.

As for WHAT to BRING? (a) A "tent card" with your name to place on the table; (b) 20 copies of a one-pager featuring skills, objectives and contact info; and (c), on that page, please spell out any companies, trade associations, hospitals, agencies etc. you seek contacts in, or will welcome a better perspective on.

RSVP to chapter leader HeatherRosen@thebeng.org while questions or special requests can go to Frank Gregorsky at 703 281-1674.

The Northern Virginia BENG came to life on October 9th of last year. As participation grows, we will have guest speakers, including recruiters. Our meetings are same time, same place, on the second Wednesday of each month. The parent website is http://www.thebeng.org/.
