The USJC's have opted to withdraw from holding the Government Affairs Leadership Seminar (GALS) in D.C. this year for a less expensive meeting in Austin, Texas. Several long-term GALS supporters have formed a Cause Group on Facebook to persuade the USJC administration to reverse their decision. If you would like to join the cause, go to: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/191698?m=24480d57&recruiter_id=40444742 |

Dear MetNet followers, corresponders, and future attendees:Due to a major sponsorship pull-out, we will NOT be holding MetNet 2009 in D.C. this summer. Instead, we have decided to take applications for MetNet 2010 and will be providing special Metro trainings at the Florida and Pittsburgh USJC conventions this year. I thank you all for your comments, suggestions, and feedback. I also encourage you to help us prepare for 2010 NOW so we can make it the best MetNet to date! Sincerely. Shonda Ranson 2009 USJC Metro Director. |

Attracting members in an economic crisis |

Adage posted an article about attracting quality talent to agencies during a recession (http://adage.com/talentworks/article?article_id=134109) and I felt that many of the same principles were true for any business or organization.
- First, job security is going to be the number one priority -- not how much fun a place is to work.
- Skill-building and experience will be more important than additional social activities.
- Careers will be cool again, instead of job hopping every few years
"Millennials, who have never experienced an economic downturn of any magnitude, also are saddled with more debt than any previous generation. With most employers waiting until at least the second or third quarter of this year to evaluate the economy and subsequent hiring, those under 30 are in a tenuous position but not without leverage. They bring the technology and social-networking skills critical to agencies and their clients. They also represent a demographic that still has tremendous buying power and significant brand influence."
The Junior Chamber began just before the Great Depression, in the 1920s, and continued to grow steadily through the 1930s, during the last major US recession. Perhaps the best course of action to marketing to new members is returning to the basics. |

During MetNet 2008 in NYC, we had a special guest speaker, David M. Scott, speak about the new rules of PR and Marketing. David's book, "The New Rules of PR & Marketing" was available to purchase after the luncheon and we completely sold out of all of our copies. As a professional courtesy, and because we believe that he is a leader in the industry, I would like to let you know that David is coming out with a new book in March called "World Wide Rave."  Until his book comes out, David has posted a free eBook for people to download called
LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR MARKETING!
