Membership Structure Changing!
In an effort to simplify your membership and event fees and to provide more value to your membership, Current is making some progressive changes to its membership structure. In early January, members will receive a notice regarding this change. All members will be requested to renew their membership in January and be given the opportunity to purchase a premier membership. The premier membership will include your general membership dues and event fees for fourteen different events.

About Read to Lead
Current launched this reading group to encourage young professionals to pursue professional development through reading.  The program offers participants a chance to network and to reflect on leadership, best practices, and other special topics pertinent to a variety of industries.  The program is also intended to provide an opportunity for young professionals to interact with area leaders who have significant work experience and are generally more advanced in their careers. It is not required that you have read the book, simply that you enjoy the conversation.

Based on the philosophy of fishmongers at Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market, this colorful presentation will teach you how to make the workplace more fun and engaging. In Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market, employees fill fish orders by tossing fish through the air prior to wrapping to the delight of customers and onlookers. The result of creating a fun work environment has been higher sales and more satisfied customers. This presentation will demonstrate how to apply the basic principles of the Fish! philosophy into your work environment. Presented by Roz Barker of Schenck Business Solutions.
