THE local branch of the Chartered Management Institute is commencing its new 2005/06 events programme with an evening which will appeal to the majority of business people in West Wales. Titled 'Nurturing and Growing Your Business', this presentation is geared to help individual businesses succeed by following a simple three-stage process. Eric Sutherland, MD of Neural Pathways Ltd., has promised that his presentation will be free of management jargon, which should come as a breath of fresh air to many. As always, this event is free, includes refreshments and is a perfect opportunity to network. Members are invited to bring along their promotional business material and meet like-minded professionals. The institute exists to shape and support all managers, helping them deliver in a dynamic world. Both members and non-members are welcome to these networking events and there is usually a lively discussion after a presentation. The event runs from 6.30 pm prompt to approximately 9 pm and is to be held at Pembrokeshire College, Haverfordwest, on Thursday, April 21.
