excellent start to the 2011/12 chapter year at our first

average monthly attendance last year, which is outstanding.
The Officer Team and I shared your excitement and hope to

Weekday” at the Post-Meeting session. Clint is a well-known
professional speaker who has travelled the world covering
leadership topics in a very entertaining and inspirational
style. We are very grateful to Clint speak to the Dallas

Tommy Gonzalez, the City Manager of Irving, who will
continue our leadership theme with the presentation topic,

Living for the Weekday: What Every Employee and Boss Needs to Know about
Enjoying Work and Life (John Wiley & Sons, 2010).
