I always am wanting to share things with people …whether this can be called an actual newsletter is up for debate. I like to think it is more like having a conversation with you. And if you have met me you know how that goes….
Got a question? Want me to find something for you? Did you get this forwarded to you? If you would like to be on the list, text MEETGUIDE to 22828. Or just get in touch with me by email at Joanne@JoanneDennison.com or by phone at 732.672.1134

I am surprised when I talk to job seekers in our industry and ask them where they are finding jobs to apply for. It used to be I would hear Monster or Career Builder, now more often it is "Indeed." When I ask where else I frequently get blank stares as if “Where else would there be?”
A Range in Salaries During 2016
M&C conducted an online survey in June-July 2016, compiling statistics with the help of Arlington, Va.-based research firm Bear Analytics. Results are based on a total of 340 responses. Note: The findings for independent/third-party planners and government/legal/university planners have a somewhat higher margin of error, due to lower response rates from planners in those smaller market segments.

If you are on this list you probably heard me present on the meetings and events industry (good chance on the CMP exam) but no, you did not ask to be on this list because the list did not exist till now. If you choose to unsubscribe I totally get it. On the other hand if you stick around there might be something interesting, or amusing or maybe even both.
