EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR

As most of you know, GNOEA will be holding our “Executive of the Year” banquet on May 8, 2012 at the Southern Yacht Club starting with cocktails at 6:00 pm.  This banquet is the only event we have to recognize one of our own for not only his or her service to GNOEA, but to the community.   Which are why, the officers & board members has issued a mandatory assessment fee of $65.00 to each member, whether they attend or not. 

The banquet will begin with cocktails from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.  The bar was a cash bar, but Honorary Member, Jerry Groetsch has generously volunteered to pay for the cocktail hour, which we really appreciate.  Thank you Jerry!

Here is the menu:  Caesar Salad, Beef Filet or Gulf Fish Oscar, Dauphion Potatoes, Asparagus, Bread Pudding, Coffee & Tea, Rolls & Butter.  We will also be serving two glasses of wine with dinner (included). 

So we have a beautiful venue looking out over Lake Pontchatrain, free cocktails, a wonderful dinner, so why not join us on May 8th, you may even be the recipient! 

If you will be attending or if you cannot attend, please contact me at susan@gnoea.com.  I will need to know how many people will be in your party and if you will be having the beef or fish.

 

PROGRAM

Today we were pleased to have as our speakers Alexis Hocevar & Karen Wilson both with Enterprise Rent-A-Car & Lola Lass, ADEETA Corporate Staffing.  Their program was collaboration on the Gaining, Training and Development of new employees.

They explained the importance of engaging new hires with orientations and integration, tracking their progress with evaluations, and then how to retain them.

We wish to thank all of them for a very informative program.
