Shelly Palmer’s “UPSIZING: Reinventing Yourself and Your Career for the New Digital Economy”

Shelly Palmer

Part of the success of NY:MIEG is two simple words: Shelly Palmer.

When I first had the idea to launch NY:MIEG I wanted to combine the best elements of networking, information/education and an enjoyable pleasant event. And our first breakfast, in June 2006, featured Shelly Palmer

Since that time Shelly has been a fan, a friend and supporter. I ran into Shelly this afternoon and he told me about a new program he is launching entitled “UPSIZING: Reinventing Yourself and Your Career for the New Digital Economy” Free for TV Academy Members. If you are interested in joining NATAS and/or attending this class please feel free to contact me.
