From the President

As we spring forward for Daylight Savings Time and enjoy longer and brighter days, SMPS Greater Cincinnati continues to spring forward with great programming and opportunities for you and your firms. We are excited to celebrate Women’s History Month with a WBE panel of female leaders taking charge. If you haven’t registered yet for this month’s program, make sure you do it today and encourage your colleagues to join you.

We’re also delivering an incredible opportunity for your firms to spring forward in your storytelling. Telling your story is vital in professional services, and SMPS is proud to partner with Shane Meeker, Procter & Gamble Corporate Storyteller and Company Historian for this month’s education event – The Power of STORY – A Guide to Better Business Stories. This event is for every person in your company who needs to tell stories about your projects, your people or your company. You won’t want to miss this event so register today!

It’s also time to spring forward in your career. If you haven’t joined SMPS, but have been thinking about it, now is the time. At the end of this month, we’ll kick off a membership drive where you can take advantage of the numerous benefits of SMPS and receive a gift card from us just for joining.

We hope you’ll spend your longer and brighter days with SMPS this month! Read on for details on these events and much more happening with SMPS.
