January Meeting is this Saturday 1/12 at 8:00 am
All
The Breakfast Club NJ is the premier networking group of New Jersey. It has grown to over 3,800+ members,
at least one in almost every state, over 600+ of these sitting C-Level Execs and has helped over 6,000+ people
land new opportunities and put the trying times of job transition behind them.
Imagine all of this started with just 2 people having Breakfast together and learning how to network
As many of you landed over the years you would ask me what you can do in return. I have never taken anything personally all I have asked that you help me pay it forward by continuing to attend meetings, introducing others you come across in transition, referring recruiters, things that contribute to strengthening and growing the group. We need all of us - each and everyone one of us - to continue these actions to keep the group as strong as it can be so it can be here for new members and we have had people land some as many as four times during it's existence.
As we are in that time of year where we reflect on what is important and make commitments and resolutions I ask each of you to think about your transition and how the breakfast club nj had helped you and to renew your commitment to the group by committing to help us out going forward
1 - Attend meetings when you can - we are at the Days Hotel - Route 18 East Brunswick - 2nd Saturday each month at 8am as always - stop in see your old friends and make new ones - share your advice to those in transition - and possibly be the missing link that helps someone in transition get that next opportunity
2 - If you come across someone in transition - refer them to the website - www.thebreakfastclubnj.com - guide them through the process to join - supply their contact info: name, phone & email - and you as their sponsor
3 - Go that extra mile and attend the first meeting with them - introduce them to others in the group - teach them how to do an elevator pitch in advance so they can be prepared to participate right in their very first meeting
4 - Be active by posting new job opportunities to our community - we all get job opportunities every day as you get them share them with the group by simply forwarding them to thebreakfastclubnj@yahoogroups.com from the email that you supplied when you provided your contact info when you joined the group
5 - Live our groups motto - help others whenever you can - read the postings and if someone needs help with an introduction or info with a targeted company - if you have the information they are seeking reach out to them and help them. Remember back when you were in transition and how these random acts of kindness were so instrumental in helping you and brightening your day
6 - Practice good group citizenship by keeping your computing device's antivirus up to date and fully functioning. Our "TheBreakfastClubNJ" Yahoo Group CANNOT get infected with a virus but can forward an email containing a link that one can click on that can effect the recipients machine. Only defense we have is if both the sender and receiver both have antivirus up to date and fully functioning on both ends of the messaging.
7 - Meeting structure - we usually open with welcome & housekeeping, then a guest speaker, have everyone do their elevator pitch, and close with open networking. We came to this structure and approach by attending other networking meetings and determining what was most effective. If you have ideas on how we can improve the effectiveness and the level of satisfaction with attending the meeting we are always open to suggestions. Please always feel welcome to suggest new approaches to keep the meetings fresh, informative, and fun!
Guys I can't do this alone - I am very lucky to have several core people that have helped out TREMENDOUSLY over the last several years from greeting at the door, to arranging speakers, to running a group library, to managing our linked in group and facebook group, to special efforts to grow the participation in these groups, to teaching our members social networking skills and tools like Twitter, to showing up and participating regularly - THERE ARE NOW 3,800+ of us - I need each of you to help out whenever you can - if you did we could land everyone in transition every meeting given our size and focus of alumni - wouldn't that be great! The only hurdle I haven't been able to effectively conquer as of yet is how to effectively engage and keep our alumni involved - please help me get the needed traction on this goal.
We need your participation to keep the group strong so starting with our next meeting mark your calendars and join us as much as your calendars can permit. I definitely can't do this alone. As competing priorities arise remember how important this group is if you are ever in transition again and how important keeping it strong is to you and all the rest of the members. Together we have built something special and very strong in this forever changed world after 9/11 let's keep it going, keep it as strong as we can, and continue to evolve it to the next level. Please mark these dates in your calendars for 2013

February 9

April 13

July 13
August 10
September 14

Thank you for your time, your friendship, and in advance your support, attendence and active participation. If I can effectively get the groups ALUMNI engaged we can really start doing some outstanding work with the networking group on career management and being proactive and continuing to move this group to new plateaus. So after 10 years I still have enough gas in my tank to make the effort to the next plateau - please join me on this exciting trip of taking this premier networking group to it's next level of capabilities in helping our members.
If we haven't spoken in a while please drop me an email and let me know that you've read this and will be putting these meeting dates in your calendars, recommitting to the success of our group, and if you feel comfortable sharing with all the members in the group do so, let's get some strong momentum going as we have a real diamond in the rough here and it's time to realize it's true potential is right before us and i am looking forward to us achieving it TOGETHER!
