Our chapter meets monthly from September through June.  The monthly breakfast meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday at various locations in the Philadelphia area.  Our programs feature locally and nationally recognized speakers and wonderful networking opportunities.  

Our June 2010 program was entitled Golf for Business.  Held at Paxon Hollow Country Club in Broomall, the golf clinic provided all techniques to improve your swing and short game and the weather could not have been better.

Join us in September for our next monthly program.
