PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS
================
A comment especially directed to those considering attending a Chapter meeting for the first time at Aliperti's:  the cost of the meeting includes a buffet dinner and soft drinks. There is a cash bar adjacent to the meeting room. We provide a networking opportunity for over an hour before the speaker commences his presentation. Attendees are expected to have their meal during this period.  

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF AITP TO ATTEND THIS EVENT!

Alperti's is relatively easy to get to from most areas in central NJ, which is one reason why it was selected in hopes of attracting ITers from that area to our Chapter meetings. I urge that you take advantage of the networking and educational opportunity we offer at this event. 

Next month the Chapter is offering a presentation on another 'hot' topic - Big Data and Business Intelligence. Please place the date on your calendar and plan to attend. It will be held at Johnston's Steak House in Roseland.   

FUTURE MEETINGS
============
We will continue to meet the second Tuesday of each month and will alternate sites between Aliperti's in Clark, NJ and Jim Johnston's Steak House in Roseland, NJ.  Below are the meeting topics and sites we have targeted for the remaining two months of the Chapter year. The June topic is tentative and could change:


May 14 -     Big Data and BI - Attivio Corp            - Johnston's Steak House

June 10 -     Panel Discussion on IT Careers, etc. - Aliperti's
