Feb 2011 Chapter Meeting Wrap Up

Posted on February 21, 2011 by

Thanks to everyone who attended February’s chapter meeting. I hope you enjoyed yourself and the time was well spent. Also, thanks to Chuck Tomasi, ServiceNow.com and Titletown HDI’s Chapter President for his presentation “Fired to Hired in 23 Days”. The presentation enlightened us on how we can all be better prepared for the day we find ourselves without a job.

Great interaction by the members and the discussion was very informative.

Prize winners this month received the book “10 Ways to Make in Great” by our HDI Regional Director, Phil Gerbyshak.
Winners were: Kevin Boerschinger and Josh Wanty.

We’ve struck gold!

Posted on February 21, 2011 by

I am very excited to share the news that our chapter has received Gold level status in the HDI 2010 Circle of Excellence program. Since I’ve been a member we’ve had Silver status and I was beginning to wonder what more could be done to take us to the next level. With a lot of hard work from some terrific people this past year, we finally found out.

Thank you board and members for making 2010 such a success. 2011 is off to a great start and I’m looking forward to an awesome year!
