The November meeting was hosted by the Corporate Tax Management Committee and the meeting topic was "Strategic Work Groups: A Solution to the Demand of Accomplishing More with Fewer Resources." Samuel R. James, Ed.D., of James & Associates, is a group psychologist who has worked with Fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses for more than 25 years. He put together a session that presents four elements of strategic work groups in detail. Since the seminar was non-technical in nature and dealt with organization demands and work processes, the Chapter invited members to bring other colleagues from their companies. In December the Chapter will host a basic International tax session for those who are new to this area or need a refresher course. The Chapter is very fortunate to have Kathi Mettler of PwC presenting this session. Her presentation of this session to the Westchester-Fairfield Chapter received rave reviews. |
