Consultants' Network Membership Info

Consultants' Network (Conet) Membership Information

Here is how Conet helps it's members

Printed Directory:	We have a professionally created directory of members which is printed on a heavy stock in two colors. Each member has a 50 word description, highlighting his or her background. In addition, there is a quick reference index, in the front of the directory, with many keywords, and every members name. They are organized in a matrix so that finding someone who fits your needs can be found at a glance.
Web Site:	We have a web site which brings in contract leads that are emailed or faxed to every member. It also generates requests for our printed directory, and helps bring in new members. Soon our web site will have a search engine to make finding a consultant easier.
Conet's Phone, Fax and Email:	We have Three methods of being contacted, and forward those leads to all members within hours.
Monthly Meetings:	We have a meeting every month of the year. For many meetings we bring in a guest speaker, who is an expert on a topic. Other meetings we will have some of our own experts, cover topics of interest to the membership, or will have an interactive meeting on important topics. Meetings are free and all are welcome to attend. They are held on the 2nd Monday of every month, from 7 to 9:30 PM, in the Moore School, University of Pennsylvania, at 32nd and Walnut streets, Philadelphia. The room number may vary but is usually on the second floor. The meeting notices are published in the IEEE Almanack every month.
