Back To School Time –Re-engage with a Fun and Invigorating lunch discussion!

A Business Case: Improving your bottom line by

communicating more effectively with Diverse audiences

and the impact of Social Media.

So, Why is Diversity Important?

Some might answer… “It’s about social justice”… “It’s about personality, thought, and culture”…”It’s about access and representation.”  While all of these responses are true, may be the most compelling response these days is … “It’s about the bottom line!”  

Join us for an informative discussion and luncheon on the business case for Diversity.  Tuesday September 7th at the Phoenix.  Registration begins at 11:30. The program goes from 12pm until 1pm.   

What you will learn:

• Why a savvy marketer and public relations professional cannot afford to overlook Diverse audiences. 
• How social media is revolutionizing access to diverse audiences and strengthening buying power.
• Getting beyond personal bias and stereotypes to relevant messaging and distribution.
• How to find new markets and customers for your products and services
• How promoting Diversity can be fun and can refresh a stale marketing plan
• And why Diversity should be a part of your strategic plan

You will hear from successful marketing and public relations leaders who have proven that serving diverse markets adds to the bottom line while providing the transformational social benefits associated with Inclusion.

Understanding Our Reservation/Cancellation Policy

Reservations are required for events since the location only makes the number of meals that we order.  We cannot guarantee space for walkins.  If you require a vegetarian meal, you need to state this at the time you make your reservation; however, all vegetarian meals are "Chef's Choice."  All meals need to be ordered in advance and substitutions will not be available the day of the event.

All of our meeting announcements include a reservation deadline and the statement that we cannot accept cancellations after that time.  This is because our contract with the location requires us to guarantee the number of meals we need to order at that time.  Once we place the guarantee we cannot lower our count. Therefore, we are billed for all meals we order at the time of our deadline whether we end up using them or not.

Our chapter by-laws state that members are responsible for payment of expenses incurred on their behalf by the Chapter when they have indicated their intention to participate in Chapter activities.  We understand that scheduling conflicts do arise, clients suddenly appear, people do get sick and sometimes the weather isn’t the best for driving.  However, please understand that if you have placed a reservation and not cancelled it by the deadline, so long as the program is held, you are responsible for the cost of your reservation.

NEW 3/2009:

1. All non-member reservations must be prepaid.
2. Reservations will not be accepted from anyone owing a balance from a prior event.

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please don’t hesitate to ask Anne Campbell, acampbell@fuse.net or 513-792-0402.
