Special AgileBoise Roundtable event 11/24 at Noon

[Jason Dean]

Hi all,

Next Tuesday 11/24, from 12:1-30 AgileBoise will be having a special Roundtable event downtown Boise at the Red Lion. We will have a special guest, Bob Sarni, one of the original certified Agile Trainers and Coaches. Read his Bio below for more information. We will have an informal discussion around Bob's successes with Agile in the pharmaceutical industry and his perspective on the growth and future of Agile. Bob worked here in Boise for many years and is returning to share with our local Agile community.

Please RSVP through the AgileBoise.org site -> Events so I know how many to plan for. You will need to register on the site to RSVP If you have not done so already. Registering allows you to participate in our online forums (just getting started) and be informed of upcoming events. The lunch is no host.

I also want to recommend Bob if you have any Agile certification, consulting, or training needs. Bob is a highly recommended expert in the Agile community. You can contact him through Linkedin at http://www.linkedin.com/in/bobsarni or join us and talk to him in person.

Thanks all!
Jason Dean
AgileBoise Coordinator
