The September surprises keep coming. Whether its politics, the economy, energy or Wall Street, change and uncertainty is everywhere. Clearly, it is more important than ever to stay flexible and to network with those that can assist you to manage change. Ok, you know where I am going with this don't you?

CoreNet Global's Chicago Chapter is offering a host of opportunities every month to help you accomplish all of the above. During the last few weeks, we have explored the energy cost impact on industrial transportation; a second session is forthcoming on the impact of energy prices on employee commutes and new work patterns. Also, we offered a half day learning session to a group of 20 CRE's on international real estate. Additionally, our last luncheon focused on the new initiatives at United Airlines, Sara Lee and Edelman Public Relations.
