I wanted to thank Cary for his presentation this morning on Philanthropy and Business Networking. It was well organized and effective, big kudos to his presentation coach. Should anyone request the presentation via email please contact Cary directly (his information is attached). Additionally should you want to explore EFNT further please visit www.efnt.org to learn about what it means to be “Doing Well by Doing Good”.
Should you want to get in the game quickly:
Freedom Day (honoring September 11th victims) is an amazing event that EFNT holds annually http://www.efnt.org/content-freedomday.asp The companies and individuals involved in Freedom Day are “A list” (Hall Financial; Skywire Software; Locke, Liddell & Sapp; Price Waterhouse; Winstead; Merrill Lynch) and the cause is dear to heart. My company has been involved in for a number of years and we look forward to the team spirit that this event promotes within our firm. The date is fast approaching, so now would be a great time to call Pam Gerber and see how you can invest your time and/or money this September 11th. Pam’s information is below:
