#BABJsotu
The January meeting will be our 2nd Annual “BABJ 2016 State of the Union.”
Not some stuffy speech, but a chance for US to design OUR agenda and activities for 2017 as a group.
The reasoning for #BABJsotu
As with last year, we have a golden opportunity in 2017 to make BABJ what we want it to be for Charm City in the future.
Our membership has doubled from 40 professionals and students this time last year to 80 dues paying members. (Bravo Membership Chair David Steele!)
We have a full BABJ Executive Board.
We have several mentee candidates participating in our 3rd BABJ Mentor Program class. (Bravo Mentor Program Chair Maria Pitts-Roberts!)
The NABJ Region 1 Conference heads up the road to Philadelphia. This is a great time to have some input on the event, as our chapter president Nicki Mayo is one of the co-programming chairs for the spring event.
Let’s make 2017 an amazing year for BABJ!
We hope to see you Saturday January 28, 2017 at noon.
