When faced with a challenging job market, there are alternative choices you
can make that may offer different opportunities than a traditional career
path. Sometimes, you just need to "think outside of the box."

TCN's November 26th meeting will feature a presentation by Costa Rodis and
Felicia Halpert from Bergen IT. They will discuss the benefits and risks of
being an independently-owned local business, and some of the challenges and
successes they've encountered choosing this path rather than pursuing
positions in the corporate world.

----------------------------------------

Monday, November 26th, 7:00-9:00 PM
Barnert Temple, 747 Route 208 South, Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417

Directions to Barnert Temple:

Bergen IT is a technology services company focused on serving the needs of
businesses and homes in Northern NJ. Its goal is to provide IT support and
technical expertise to companies and professionals that either do not have
access to full-time technical staff, or seek back-up support for overloaded
in-house employees. The company offers a range of computer, networking,

recently added website and editorial development to its portfolio of
services.

worked in the IT departments of major law firms, and as an independent
consultant and trainer in New York City and in northern NJ. He's
comfortable with software and hardware, PCs and Macs, Windows and OSX,
desktops and laptops, smart phones and tablets, as well as a range of audio
and telephony systems.

Felicia Halpert is the vice president of Bergen IT. Her focus is on
business development as well as website and editorial services. She
recently came to the company after many years in the educational media
product development space. Felicia has been the Editorial
Director/Executive Producer for Scholastic's website for schools, as well
as a Media Director and Operations Manager for Pearson's Higher Education
group. She also has experience as an editor and award-winning writer for
magazines and newspapers.

for our evening with Costa Rodis and Felicia Halpert from Bergen IT. Please
feel free to arrive at 6:30pm for extra open networking time, and bring a
friend! RSVP's are not required.

Next month, we will meet on December 17th (please note, different day, NOT
the 4th Monday), for an open networking meeting with your TCN friends and
colleagues.
