TruPath’s January Community Events

TruPath is riding into the New Year on a positive note with Community participation in high-gear.

New Year, Engaged You!

Buckle up! The New Year is straight AHEAD. Can you believe it?! Most likely, you are looking in the rear-view mirror reflecting on 2016, while also planning your New Year’s Resolutions for 2017. As you look ahead, I encourage you to think about how you can get involved in your community as a New Year’s Resolution.

Specifically, I challenge you to participate in a few January Community Events. Begin by asking yourself these three questions:

  1. Do you want to volunteer?
  2. Could you benefit from developing or enhancing your skills?
  3. Would you like to get involved with a professional association?

Did you answer YES to any of the above? If so, TruPath has several January Community Events on our calendar that you may be interested in.

First, check out these learning 0pportunities:

  • The Arizona Technology Council (AZTC) presents a Lunch and Learn titled, You and the Media – How to Tell Your Story Through Editorial Magic. For starters, you will learn how to grab an editor’s attention. In addition, you will learn about the different ways to successfully work with public relations firms.

Event Details:  Thursday, January 12th:  11:30 am – 1 pm. This event is FREE for AZTC members and $15 for non-members.

  • The Diversity Leadership Alliance (DLA) hosts its monthly workshop at Paradise Valley Community College. The workshop is in conjunction with the Desperado Film Festival and located at the Center for Performing Arts. While these workshops usually include engaging speakers or activities, you are sure to leave with inspiring ideas at the very least!

Events Details:  Friday, January 27th:  8 am – 12 pm. This workshop is FREE but fills up fast, so reserve your spot as soon as possible.

Next, think about listening to these Valley speakers:
