| Dear BPW Colleagues, |
| |
 We began a new year with speaker Rhonda Della Sala, Health Care
Recruiter, St. Joseph Medical Ctr. and look forward to more
interesting and exciting speakers. Please review the list of
upcoming topics and speakers and mark your calendars now for the
3rd Thursday each month so you don't miss out. As you can see
from the Programs Committee Report further in this newsletter,
we still have a few available places for Sponsors. A sponsorship
is just $50 and includes your lunch. Please contact me at
603-578- 9899 X203 to find out more information about this great
marketing opportunity.
Just a reminder, our meetings begin at 11:00, so please plan on
using this time to register, get settled in, hand out your
business cards and network with the other members and guests. We
also have the room available beyond the 1:00 end of meeting so
you can stay and talk further with anyone you did not get a
chance to meet.
Advertising is available through this newsletter for those of
you that want to market your business. There are different
levels of advertising, so read on, and contact Barb Tremlett at
barbt@thehsccenter.com for more information.
If you are looking to have an impact on the organization and
want to meet our members at a more intimate level, I recommend
you join a committee. The more people that help, the less we
each need to do. I am also looking for someone to serve as Vice
President this year, and move to President next year. If you are
interested or know of someone, please contact me at the above
number.
I look forward to seeing you at the Tri-City Expo booth on Sept
25 from 3 - 7 at the Center of NH.
Susan Weidner Cooke
President

POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
By Kimberlie Hoffmann
Report from State of New Hampshire
Our first Board Meeting will be on the 18th of October, location
to be determined. All are invited and I encourage you to attend.
We are looking for willing participants to work on several
committees such as nominations. I'm in charge of the Convention
for 2009 and I'm hoping to combine it with our sisters to the
South in MA and possibly including CT! I'm afraid that is all I
have to report but I encourage you to contact me via email or
phone with any suggestions, concerns or observations you may have
to help BPW increase Membership, develop programs or history of
the group that will help me do the best job I can this year as
State Vice President. Thank you.

As you know, BPW Nashua is a member of the Greater Nashua Chamber
of Commerce. It has recently come to our attention that this is
a limited membership. Our Chamber contact has forwarded their
official policy on member organizations and non-profits.
It is as follows: "For non-profit organization and
membership organizations with paid staff, the Chamber's membership
benefits are extended to all members of the paid staff. For non-
profit organizations and membership organizations without a paid
staff, the Chamber's membership benefits are extended to the
organization's Board of Directors only, for their term in office
only. The organization is requested to provide the Chamber with an
up-to-date listing of their Board on an annual basis." Please
accept our apologies for any confusion.
