2012 Will Be A Year To Remember!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Holiday season! I know we did, but it’s back to work as we get ready for a busy 2012!! As we speed into the new year, I’d like to share bits and pieces of information and give you some updates that have to do with the Pub Club. Here we go…

2012 promises to be a busy year for the Pub Club. Per usual, our season is hectic in the second half, thanks to the Bell Ringer Awards. As always, we’re looking forward to hearing about all the great programs New England agencies conduct. There’s always a ton of great competition and we can’t wait to hear about the winners! Speaking of the Bell Ringer Awards – awards night is fast approaching! We’re working on all the details and looking to make some minor changes; and promise to bring you an event that will be bigger and better than ever! We’re already hard at work, planning for our big night.

We’re very excited about our programs this year. We had some outstanding programs in 2011, and promise to bring you stellar programs in 2012. A sampling of upcoming programs include Boston’s Media Best, Tech Industry Tips and a Healthcare program, among many others. We also look forward to the continuation of our Master’s Institute, which has been a hit for senior practitioners. Our next Masters Institute program will be held on Friday, January 13.

We’ve had a handful of new members join the club in 2011, and we look forward to increasing our membership. We are working hard to introduce the club to the right people who can benefit from our offerings. That being said, word is spreading about the club and all the great benefits we offer, thanks to word of mouth, social mediums, and partnerships we have (such as BostInnovation, who have given us our own channel page!).

Three pub club members had babies in 2011 (aka baby bells). Three more board members will welcome baby bells in 2012 (who knows, more may be on the way!)

Last but not least, I have to end with thanking the people who dedicate a lot of time to making the club what it is. Our board members and executive director care greatly about this club and do such a tremendous job handling every single detail. I’m proud of everyone involved – this season’s group is a smart and hard-working crew and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to work with them.

Here’s to a fantastic 2012!! CHEERS!!
