It's a New Year and you're filled with enthusiasm to make this Your Best Year Yet!
And even though your company has made staff cuts and you're trying to cover two jobs at the same time, you know the value of industry-specific education and you know you need to take the time to attend a PII meeting.
That's what PII meetings can offer you. The best part is that it's much more than the meeting topic itself; it's the chance to talk with other folks in the industry like yourself. If nothing else, it makes you realize that you're not the only one struggling through problems and, you might even learn something from them.
Take a look at PII's "Education and Events" listings--they're local and they don't cost much and they don't take a lot of time. PII meetings are all about sharing and the welcome mat is out. But - you have to try it. We think you'll like it.

And did you know that the H1N1 virus’ period of infectivity is longer than for the ‘regular’ flu?
