First and foremost, I wanted to thank my good friend, Douglas Castle, who filled in for my regular column last month.
It seemed that while I was "off", so much has happened...
- Several networking events took place during this past month as Expo season was in full swing and TNNW had the pleasure to partner on several of them
- The Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series...even though I'm a die-hard Mets fan, I couldn't help but take part in the festivities and celebration considering I now live in the Philadelphia suburbs
- Daylight Standard Time has given us in the U.S. an extra hour of sleep - how sweet it is!, and
- We are now just a few days away from deciding who the next president of the United States will be.
In many regards, the U.S. Presidential Election is the largest networking event we have as a country. The candidates tour around the country to make appearances at debates and "town hall" meetings. Supporters canvass neighborhoods to get others to come out and vote on November 4th. Volunteers man the voting booths tirelessly while local constituents pile in.
I always look forward to going to vote. I bring my kids with me to their school (where the voters' booths are set up) and we proceed to catch up with folks that we usually don't get to talk to. It's a great way of feeling like you're part of the collective whole.
What makes things even more exciting is that this election is historic. There is much passion and hype around as the winner of this election will be dealing with some very tricky times. No matter the outcome, it is an opportunity for all of us to make a difference.
Speaking of changes and politics, this month we will be unveiling some new writers who will be making their debut (and in one case...return). Hint: the return writer will be joining us as our regular Political Editor. Stay tuned!
As always, I look forward to networking with you...
- Adam
