Vocal Empowerment
for Women in Leadership
Dr. Laura Sicola

You have the title, you have the expertise, but does your communication style – especially your vocal delivery – make you sound like a leader? Whether you are giving a formal presentation, facilitating a meeting, or holding a 1:1 conversation, you need the skills and confidence to know that you can deliver the right message in the right way to get the buy-in you need for the results you want. In this interactive session, Dr. Laura Sicola shares four pitfalls that sabotage your leadership voice. Join us to discover how they impact "the 3Cs" of vocal executive presence: Command the room, Connect with the audience and Close the deal. This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Target Markets staff dedicates this newsletter to a good friend of the Association who passed away last month. Rex Beaton had worked for Target Markets as an independent contractor for all of its 15 year history, but functioned as, and was considered to be, part of our organization. As an art director and jack-of-all-trades, Rex was involved in the production of all of our event materials, forms, documents, postcards, posters, awards and much more. Rex was a master with Photoshop and made many an Association member look much better than the photos submitted to us for marketing purposes. He was always the first person to inquire about the feedback from our members following an event, and took great pride in the work he did for us. Rex provided a great deal of his time and advice for free, and was instrumental in sharing his knowledge and files to us as we began to take on this work in-house. He made sure he left Target Markets in good shape. Rex touched many people in his 79 years in the same way he impacted the Association staff. He was a good friend who will be greatly missed.

In an effort to bring greater efficiency to the market-finding process for Association members, Target Markets has launched the Carrier Search Portal (CSP). We are excited to provide this resource for our members and believe it should be a significant help as we get closer to our Mid-Year Meeting in April.
Use this link to access the CSP. You can also find the CSP from the Target Markets home page in the Member List menu. It replaces the former carrier list and information pages. Since this is only available to Target Markets members, you will need to sign in to access as you normally do to view member lists and details.
