FULFILL NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS AT NO LIMITS! ABWA MEETING
If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to begin preparing nutritious meals for your family, then you need to attend the February meeting of No Limits!, Lincoln’s first and only ABWA Express Network. Learn how to make better tasting, healthier meals in less time and for about half the money of eating out or buying fast food!

Join Alice Henneman, MS, Registered Dietitian and UNL Extension Educator, as she provides tips and techniques that will tell you how to “Cook It Quick, Healthy, Delicious…and Cheap!” Alice is nationally known for her FOOD website that features “Cook It Quick” ideas that help make healthy food in a hurry. Alice was named the 2008 Communicator of the Year by the Nebraska Chapter of the Association of Communication Excellence in Agricultural, Natural Resources, and Life and Human Sciences.

No Limits! will meet on Monday, February 15 from 11:15 am to 1:00 pm at Carmela’s Bistro at 4141 Pioneer Woods Drive, Suite 110 at 70th and Pioneers Blvd. No Limits! meetings are open to professional women and women business owners.

Reservations made but not fulfilled will be billed.

As Lincoln’s first and only ABWA Express Network, No Limits! will celebrate its one-year anniversary in March 2010. It is one of the American Business Women’s Association’s fastest growing chapters at 60+ members. Women who are searching for a national affiliation with a local chapter that provides quality, stimulating opportunities to expand skills that enhance personal and professional growth are invited to attend. Program topics address issues specifically related to challenges and opportunities faced by women in our professional community. No Limits! Express Network meetings will honor members’ time investment and create opportunities for members to develop leadership roles and to practice leadership skills.

American Society for Training & Development (ASTD), Thurs., February 18: “Professionalism in a Dot Com World” presented by Paula Pace of The Executive Development Group.

"Let’s bring in someone who is a professional.” Would your name immediately come to mind? How you speak, act, write or work determines whether you are regarded as an amateur or a professional and is crucial to your career success. How does one put forth and maintain a professional image in today’s world? And just what does a professional image look like? What does it entail? Is it the same for a banker and an advertising rep? How does professionalism influence your interaction with customers and clients? And finally, can you just relax with your peers? Everyone has one or two (or more) social and professional experiences that didn’t turn out quite the way they would have wished. Bring those experiences along with comments and questions. You will leave with greater insight to professionalism in today’s world. Enhance your professional image with tips from this month’s program, and take advantage of an opportunity to get a business portrait at a very special rate (see website for more details). Southeast Community College Continuing Education Center, 301 S. 68th St. Pl., Room 302, Lincoln; 11:30am-1:00pm.

Cost: $16 Members/1st & 2nd time guests; $32 Non-member. Register by Thursday, February 11, by calling 402-434-7557 or visit the ASTD-Lincoln website at www.astdlincoln.org .
