September 2006 – Welcome back
A big welcome back to all of you who spent your summer holidays elsewhere, as well as those who, like me, enjoyed the gloriously empty Milan of August.As the new PWA board is officially in place and working toward organizing events for the term, I’d like to point out a couple of changes – compared with the last PWA year – that are based on feedback received from members throughout the year as well at the General Assembly held in May. Looking at our calendar, you will see that we’ve returned to the practice of scheduling events on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, except where bank holidays interfere and in the month of September, when we have traditionally delayed the first meeting after August so that as many members as possible are back from wherever summer took them.
The speaker meetings held at the Starhotel Rosa will be held on the third Wednesday of each month, while the networking aperitivi will be held on the first Wednesday. This year, the aperitivi will be held at one central location every month at Centro Svizzero, Via Palestro 2, off of Piazza Cavour in the bar on the fourth floor, La Terrazza.
Soon we will be sending out a survey asking you for your opinions on PWA events. Please take the time to answer, as we will be taking into account your opinions as we continue to tailor our program.
One objective we as the board agree upon unanimously – we’d like to motivate our members to personally participate in helping PWA deliver what matters most to all of us. What part will you play?
Maria Lassila
President, PWA
