Your Profile Page Awaits!
The holidays are over, and if you’re like most people, that means you have a little more free time on your hands. If you’ve yet to explore the AARC’s new social networking site, AARConnect, put that free time to work by visiting the site and filling out your profile page. Every AARC member already has one on the site—all you need to do is enter some information about your background and interests and upload a photo. It’s the first step to getting better connected to 50,000+ colleagues in the AARC who can help you enhance your career!

Roundtables, Part 1
The AARC supports 11 Roundtables where you can network with like-minded members in specific practice areas, all at no extra cost. We’re highlighting all of them on the AARC website this month, beginning with the first six this week.
