This sounds like a great opportunity for us to hold our DC/MD/VA quarterly meet-up. I'll send out a post shortly in the Meet-Up section of the forums - please check that out. We'd love to have you!!

Let's plan for our regular meet-up around this time so we can include THEBEEZER. I'll propose standard logistics:
We'll meet at Blacks Bar and Kitchen (http://www.blacksbarandkitchen.com/) Location
7750 Woodmont Ave.
Bethesda, MD 20814 Phone: 301.652.5525 Map Agenda
1. Welcome/Introductions if there are newcomers (7:00 p.m.) - Who you are, where you're from, and when and why you discovered Manager Tools.|
2. Update from last meet-up (7:15) - Have you overcome any of the challenges you mentioned in the last meeting? How did you do it and what was the outcome?
3. Your most powerful manager tool(s) (8:00 p.m.) - Which tools have been the most successful or effective for you? Why? Are there any that you've tried that haven't worked?
4. Adjourn (9:00 p.m. or whenever).
I know this is far in the future, but September and October look pretty busy for me, and November is just a wash-out since THEBEEZER can be with us in December.
Let's shoot for Monday evening, December 12.

I may want to come, I work in Maryland so I know where Bethesda is but live further north so for me it would depend on the weather. This may be a weird question but would I be the only female if I go? I'd be a newbie and a chick so I might feel little out of place.

Kaystr,
I've heard from at least one woman, rbgiv99, and I talked to a few people at the DC Effective Manager/Communications Conference I just attended (freaking AWESOME, by the way). You will not be the only female.
I look forward to meeting you.

I sent out an e-mail to previous DC Conference attendees and got a couple bites. I've made reservations for 6:45 p.m. under the name Marshall.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

BJ, Kate, Faisal and I had a great meal and wonderful conversation about MT, interviewing, and building our networks. It was wonderful to meet people like me that are trying to get better at what they do while dealing with the daily challenges of management. I highly encourage those of you in the area to attend the next meetup. I look forward to keeping in touch with my new members of my network!
