On Tuesday evening, June 28th, MIS Network Associates (MNA), IT-Networking, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Networking, and Careers In Transition (CIT) will host a combined Recruiter Night Out dinner meeting for members, alumni, friends, and guests at The Holiday Inn in Totowa, NJ.

- Corporate: Daria Palestina – Regeneron

- Contingency: Ray Lancaster – Lancaster Associates
- Cnsltg/Corp: Frank Perrone – Stealth Bits
The panel will be moderated by Marty Latman, who is an advisor to Careers In Transition.
Possessing a skill set that combines finance, business development, operations and administration management, information technology, logistics and manufacturing, Marty Latman has been successful in organizing start-up companies, turning around organizations, improving product margins, and setting strategic company direction. He has worked in both public and private accounting. His experience is predominantly with emerging and middle market employers that make up the vast majority of companies and the economy in New Jersey. Marty Latman is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of New Jersey and is CFO at Lansco Colors, an 85-year-old distributor of pigments to the ink, paint, concrete and chemical industries. Prior to joining Lansco Colors, he was the CFO at the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.
Marty is the chairman of the Bergen Chapter of Financial Executive Network Group (FENG), which he created in March 2002 with 29 members. Membership within this chapter has now grown to over 2800 members. Since its inception, FENG-Bergen Chapter has successfully helped more than 550 of its members find gainful employment at a time when the country was in a period of lower employment. He is also the chairman of NJ Strategic Executive Networking Group (NJSENG) and a member of over 20 other career networking groups.
Marty has been a guest speaker to many networking groups where he has discussed various career development topics including networking, interviewing techniques and advance career planning strategies.
Marty is a graduate of The State University of New York-Albany, and a resident of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.
Unedited questions for the panel are included below. These questions are subject to editing until Friday, June 24th, when the final list will be published electronically to the previous recipients. Please return your comments on the questions to John Sampson at jcsspike@yahoo.com ASAP. The final questions will be available in hard copy at the registration desk the evening of the dinner meeting on June 28th. Again, ad hoc questions will be accepted by the Moderator during the discussion with the panelists and Marty Latman may have a few questions for the panelists himself.
The schedule for the dinner meeting on June 28th will be:
- 6:00 to 6:45 pm – Registration, "speed dating", and cash bar
- 6:45 to 7:15 pm - Introductions
- 7:15 pm - Dinner
- 8:00 pm - Panel discussion moderated by Marty Latman
- 9:30 Approx – Raffle – You Must Be There To Win
The informal networking groups are so helpful in networking that we will do the "speed dating" again on the 28th before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions. Briefly, these informal "dates" consist of up to 4 people and last for 5 to 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups break up and new ones are formed with different participants. Suggested dialogues for your "speed dating" encounters will be provided at the registration desk in case you are at a loss for what to say during these conversations.
There will be an opportunity to circulate up to 60 copies of your resume, personal bio, leads, or mother appropriate material in a handout for each participant from the dinner.
The cost will be $45 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470. Checks should be made out to John Sampson who can be reached by phone at 973-248-3251 or via email at jcsspike@yahoo.com . Reservations can also be made by contacting Lizanne Fiorentino at adminedg@optonline.net but checks must be sent directly to John.
An initial list of attendees will be emailed to all the RSVPs, members of MNA, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Ntwkg, IT-Net, CIT and other interested parties the weekend of June 25/26 for initial review and correction. The RSVP list will facilitate networking at the June 28th meeting and can be used to communicate with attendees in advance or after the dinner meeting. For those attendees who are working, current work affiliation, email address, three previous companies you've worked for/consulted at, professional job interest or position availability must be included in your RSVP.
For those attendees who are in transition, three target companies should be included in your RSVP as well as the type of position you seek.
A "final" numbered RSVP list of attendees will be available along with the pre-published questions and an ID badge at the registration desk on the 28th. Your number on the final RSVP list should be part of your introduction: "I'm number x on the RSVP list …". All attendees should have their sharp, crisp, 30 second elevator speech at the ready. Too many "ahs, dees and doeses" will be cut off unceremoniously. Remember, you and your introduction will be between the rest of the attendees and dinner!
A final RSVP list of the actual attendees will be emailed to everyone who participated by first week in July. We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on the 28th. Anyone who attends on the 28th and whose check has not been received by COB on the 27th will be charged $60 WITHOUT EXCEPTION. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.
Again, bring 60 copies of your bio/resume, leads, or materials you wish to be included in the handout the evening of June 28th.
Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt 46 Westbound in Totowa can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj .
Dues are due for MNA Members.
If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 28th, volunteer to be a "Meeting Marshall". Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details. We can use your help!!!
Please join us for what always is a well attended evening of lively discussion, great networking opportunities, and a chance to just catch up.
