From Randy.Freeman at bankofamerica.com Thu Aug 4 12:13:04 2005 From: Randy.Freeman at bankofamerica.com (Freeman, Randy) Date: Thu Aug 4 12:13:12 2005 Subject: [Unitedwespeak] Back to our regular meeting schedule Message-ID: <487D30B33DF2354E95B03A5B9D8BD213052AF895@ex2k.bankofamerica.com> Hi Everyone, Last week we did not have a meeting. In months that have 5 Fridays, we don't normally meet on the 5th Friday of the month, which happens a couple times during the year. But this week is the 1st Friday of the month, and we are back on our regular schedule. United We Speak will be meeting at our First Friday time and place. Date: Friday August 5th Time: 12 noon to 1pm Place: 1455 Market St, Lobby Conference Room There is room on the agenda for a speaker . Other roles are also open. Let me know which role you would like to take. I plan call the meeting to order at 12:05pm in order to give people with strict one-hour for lunch enough time to arrive. And I will close the meeting at 12:55pm to allow time to return to your job within the one-hour time frame. Please come. Bring a friend. Bring your lunch. And come have a fun lunch hour with us! See you tomorrow! Randy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <487D30B33DF2354E95B03A5B9D8BD213075D4901@ex2k.bankofamerica.com> All members are eligible to compete, and I highly encourage everyone to give a speech for our local contest. (It can count as a manual speech, if you want it to). This year's theme is: "Speak Local - Think Global" The guidelines are: Present a 5-7 minute speech, on the topic of your choice, however if you can somehow tie it to the above theme, Team Bank of America, Higher Standards, Six Sigma, Bank of America Spirit or anything along that lines, you are likely to be given a higher rating. Our local contest will be held on Friday 8/19/05 at 1455 Market St Lobby Conference Room *AND* on Friday 8/26/05 at 315 Montgomery St 4th floor Conference Room. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED, SO PLEASE *RSVP* TO me at randy.freeman@bankofamerica.com or (925) 675-2020. Please feel free to bring friends and co-workers - just let me know, so we will have enough food! One finalist will be selected in our local contest to represent United We Speak in the National Speaking Network contest. All speeches will be video taped and the video tape will be sent to Charlotte. A panel of judges will then select the top 5 or 6 finalists from the videos of all the National entries. These finalists will then travel to Charlotte to give their speech again (in person) in a Knowledge Channel Broadcast, and awards will be given to the First, Second and Third place winners.
