EARLIER THIS YEAR

February 19 - "Three Tom Tuesday"

HOW TO SELL YOURSELF IN SAN DIEGO

An SDSU Business Alumni Network Panel featuring three of San Diego's top business insiders:

Tom Blair + Tom Gable + Tom Shess

Moderator: J. Kingston Cowart

San Diego has its own unique ways of doing business. That's because it is a university town, a tourist town, a sports town, a military town, a vital seaport and international commerce hub, and one of the nation's leading life science and technology centers. And yet, despite three decades of steady population growth and rapid development, it retains much of its original small town character.

"The Three Toms" will tell us what some of those ways are and how to make them work for us - whether as independent entrepreneurs or company members on the rise.

This is a "gotta go" event for anyone who wants to step up and stand out by doing things San Diego style.

Tuesday, February 19 - 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Hall of Champions - Balboa Park - San Diego
Cost: $30 per person
Register by February 12th
