That’s what some chapter members might think about our three monthly book discussion groups located in Claremont, Riverside and Temecula. And they would be wrong. According to Bill Smith, who recently attended the Temecula Valley group, “My first thought was that this would be another boring book about business success stories, but it is not. I look forward to the next chapters and find the information relevant to any size organization.”
And here’s what Miguel Mazzilli had to say after attending the Riverside group: “Participating in the book group is a nice break from the daily activities, and it has given me the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from different viewpoints. The group is an interesting blend of people from public accounting, industry and academia.”
And from the Claremont group, Dave Marion said, “This meeting is the highlight of my month.”
Make plans now to attend one of these three groups and see for yourself what all the enthusiasm is about. Besides, where else can you get a book, breakfast or lunch and an hour of CPE for $15? For more information, visit the chapter homepage and look under Chapter Events.
