The JOTW 2009 Holiday Blessing
I have traditionally asked my friend, shipmate, and best man Pat Tracy to offer a blessing each year around this time. I will do so again this year. But some of you have indicated an interest in having a wider, more ecumenical expression of faith and thankfulness. So, I am inviting any and all of you to send me your own JOTW holiday blessing which I will share with the entire JOTW Network. Send your blessing to lundquist989@cs.com by 22 December.

The 2010 JOTW Survey
December 19, 2009 | Author: Neds Job of the Week
The next iteration of the JOTW Survey is in the planning stages now. The previous two surveys yielded very valuable information about who belongs to the JOTW network and about our profession as business
communicators. To make the survey fun, and to encourage participation, we have offered some really great prizes that were awarded at random to those who completed the survey.
So, with that in mind, I am inviting those who want to contribute a prize or a service for the 2010 JOTW Survey to let me know before the end of 2009. When you provide an incentive prize, you will be given the name of the winner of that prize (drawn at random for the survey participants) and you will deliver the prize or service directly to that person. Do not send prizes to me here at the JOTW World Operations Center.
Send your item and description to Ned at lundquist989@cs.com.
When you offer to give prize, you get a paragraph to describe the prize,
and yourself if you want, so you can write it off to promotional considerations. The list of prizes will be maintained at www.nedsjotw.com, posted in JOTW and in the JOTW Monday Morning Chasers, and at the JOTW Facebook and LinkedIn group pages.

*** IABC/Washington January meeting: Looking Back, Looking Ahead
Looking Back, Looking Ahead
Jan 14, 2010 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Hamilton Crowne Plaza, Washington, DC
As we complete the first decade of the 21st century, communicators have seen dramatic changes over the past few years.
We've just come out of a challenging year filled with uncertainty and apprehension, the likes of which some of us have never seen before. We saw record unemployment and a global economic meltdown that impacted our field as much as any other. And we also saw the emergence and dominance of social media and tools such as Facebook and Twitter that have turned the communication profession on its head.
So what will 2010 bring? Can we expect any changes for communication professionals in the National Capital area? What should we do to increase business opportunities and employee morale for and in our organizations? What are the communication trends we are likely to see in this second decade of the new millennium? And how can we learn to harness technology to work even better for our organizations, clients and work?
While no one has a crystal ball, IABC/Washington is extremely pleased to bring together some of the area's leading business communicators to discuss these questions, as well as answer those you might have, at our January chapter meeting.
Panelists include Shashi Bellamkonda, director of social media and “social media swami” for Network Solutions; Torod Neptune, senior vice president/Global Public Affairs practice leader and general manager of Waggener Edstrom Worldwide's DC, office; John Taylor, senior manager of public affairs at Sprint Nextel Corporation; and Paul Sherman, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Tech Wire Publications.
Daria Steigman, former chapter president and founder of Steigman Communications, will moderate what promises to be a lively discussion. Bring your business cards, your questions, and yourself!
Also in 2010, we'll kick off the year with a new location and be making our meetings increasingly mobile to serve more chapter members. So please join us!
