Emily,

Yes, I am still full-time at EY. I am sharing this info with several
networking groups and requesting that folks self-screen and to contact you
if they are a fit. I am an active member as you know of the NJ chapter of
the IIBA and am currently serving as the VP of Marketing for the chapter.
You should consider attending one of our chapter meetings and perhaps TEK
Systems would be willing to again consider becoming a sponsor of the
chapter.

Here's a link to our website

Happy New Year !

Best regards,

Hi Peter!

How are you? How are things at E&Y? I know you are fulltime and probably
very happy there. I do have a few contract roles at Prudential that are Sr.

Thanks!
