January was intense. Not only did the time fly by, but I had meeting after meeting all month long – kind of like the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance speed networking event – but one that lasted for thirty days. Here’s hoping that some of those prospective client meetings turn into new accounts in the month of February.
Speaking of the Alliance, our 2011 golf tournament is scheduled for Friday, April 29th at the Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club. With Milestone Marketing Associates once again leading the charge, the LWRBA events committee is committed to raising the bar on this year’s fundraiser.
We recently finished updating the flyer with new sponsorship opportunities and online registration will open soon. The tournament sold out last year so round up your foursome now and sign up for an Interactive Sponsorship to maximize your return on investment.
In other association news, the Suncoast Technology Forum events calendar is filling up fast. We already have speakers lined up in February, March and April for our popular Techbyte Luncheons. And now that STF board member and events committee member Neil Scalvelli is booking Techbyte speakers the remaining openings won’t last long. Secure your spot today!
The STF events committee is also organizing quarterly educational events that will focus on the latest tech trends and quarterly social events intended to grow the local tech community with our technology affiliates; Barcamp Sarasota and the Tampa Bay Technology Forum.
Want to get involved? Become a member of the Suncoast Technology Forum and volunteer for the events committee. 2011 is going to be a great year!
Until next week,

P.S. I finally posted a bunch of photos from our Second Annual New Year’s Eve Party online. You can check them out on Facebook, and while you’re there, like our page.
Last week was crazy. Multiple projects, new opportunities, and events every night – it took all weekend, but I finally feel like I’m catching up. Of course I’m writing this week’s update Monday morning rather than Sunday afternoon, so it’s fair to say that I haven’t run out of things to do.
In fact my last week of January is pretty-well booked up; more meetings, more proposals, more events. Interestingly, I have bookend lunches this week at Michael’s On East. Today is the annual SCORE luncheon, and on Friday I’m attending the EDC Economic Outlook. I enjoyed both events for the first time last year so I am looking forward to them again this year.
No more time to ramble on this morning, I’ve got to get the kids off to school. Now that the sun is up it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Enjoy it!
Until next week,
Matthew Anderson, President
