 President's Message - New Year's Resolution

Like many people, I too make New Year's resolutions. I will keep most of my resolutions private but I will share one with you. I will work hard with the Board of Directors to make this years as successful as possible. In order for me to be successful in my resolution, I need your support and participation.

Currently, we are planning our second Digital Trade Show, to take place in April. Our first show in October was a great success and also a great learning experience. We anticipate many more vendors in April and plan separate rooms for mini-seminars. Stay tuned for more information.

I encourage all members to bring a guest to the next meeting. The board recently passed a resolution that first time visitors can enter a general membership meeting for FREE. This way, a visitor can find out about our association and how they can benefit from membership.

I think I can speak for the entire board when I say that we look forward to working with you in 2003.

 

Ciao,

Giancarlo

Millestone for Gold Coast Exposure Online

Happy Anniversary GCE-Online! One year ago, PPGF began producing Gold Coast Exposure as an online publication. PPGF continues to be an innovator, exploring new ways to achieve it's mission.

Mentorship Program

Education is a large part of the PPGF mission. Clearly, inexperienced members would benefit from mentorship by experienced members. Therefore, the Board of Directors has approved a mentorship program.

PPGF seeks volunteers from our experienced members to serve as mentors. Mentors are needed in all areas of specialization.
