Seattle Business Networking Blog

A new feature - a bulletin board service - has been added to the Seattle Execs website. This is a bit like classified ads for Execs. Any member can post things you have available for other Execs, for example, Seahawk tickets you want to sell, a timeshare rental that's available, you get the idea.

Go to the Seattle Execs Website www.seattleexecs.org and login. At your Member Page, click on BBS in the green bar at the top of the page. You'll be prompted through the steps to post or to read what's already been posted!

Tom Brotje of CFO2Go will lead the first in a new series of Ask A Pro sessions on Wednesday, April 21.

This session will focus on understanding core financial metrics - P&L, Balance Sheet and AP Reports. What do these reports mean for you and how do you compare with similar businesses? You will take away custom financial metrics by industry and learn how to affect key metrics in a meaningful way.

Wednesday, April 21, 9:30am - 11:15am
WAC, East Room, 3rd floor

Please RSVP to melissa@seattleexecs.org by April 15.

Great job, Ralph! Thank you for show us how its is supposed to be done.

Thank you to Bonney Watson, Susan Traub and Cameron Smock, for hosting today’s Associates Group luncheon meeting.

We welcomed 3 new Associate members, Don Foster of City Moving Systems, Adam Corley of Labor Works and Rochelle LeMay of Wellness One of Bellevue.

The group toured the mausoleum and crematorium ? a new experience for many of us. It is a beautiful facility. Susan’s area of expertise is to assist people pre-plan for funeral arrangements.
