Remember that we are DARK next Monday, May 31, 2010 for Memorial Day...have a wonderful Holiday.

I spoke this morning for a few moments in regards to the EALB Website, making sure all of our Members had no issues with clicking on the link to reach the Riptide each week, or for those who receive by FAX that they are receiving.

We also reviewed how easy it is to get to the International Executives Association Website (IEA) once you have gone into the Riptide link...just click the Home button on our Website and there is a link to the IEA Website.

Lots of good information on the IEA Website. For those of you traveling, they have a list of EA Hotel Members throughout the United States and a few in Canada. So, if you are traveling this Summer to one of the cities indicated try to stay in a fellow EA establishment. Attend an EA meeting in a city you are visiting?

Also on the IEA Website, each month they provide a "business trip" and sometimes some fun tidbits, such as the "Networking Aerobics" I referred to at today's meeting. Check it out! :0
