One of RPCN's strategic initiatives to provide ongoing educational and professional development opportunities to its members. Many of you have graciously volunteered to work on program topics to recruit speakers or develop/deliver presentations (first Friday of each month). We do have a couple of gaps late in the year; and are looking for a few more good people who are willing to work on some programming.

The responsibilities for team members for a given month are as follows:

-Determine the programs for the month and secure speakers/panelists.

-Have the speaker write up a program description with a brief bio and submit to RPCN Newsletter editor by the 20th of the second preceding month

-Work with RPCN Publicity Coordinator to send out announcements to local papers (Democrat & Chronicle; RBJ; City Newspapers; Wolfe Publications); usually 3-4 weeks ahead of publication dates.

-Communicate with guest speakers/panelists; ensure A/V needs are taken care of; act as host the day of the program; send thank you letter. If you can help out, or would like to recommend a speaker or a topic, please contact John Bok at 585-451-5099, or jbok@rochester.rr.com.
