. Pitching to Career Days with talks and brochures

. Looking into the QC graphic scanner for our promotion materials, website, and blog

Pierce Offered to Design Our Open House Flyer and send it to Emery.

Ken Emphasized Promoting Interview Skills with Our Impromptu Table Topics.

   He shared this Table Topics example:
       "Give me your 5 best qualities and how they'll benefit our company."

   Ken will increase member recognition for their many achievements.

Barbara Will Send Emails to Guests
