New England SIOR Chapter holds Candidate's Night on July 28th

The New England SIOR Chapter held a Candidate's Night for existing and perspective SIOR Candidate members on July 28th at The Atlantic Beer Garden, 146 Seaport Blvd., at Northern Ave. Approximately 18 SIOR Chapter board members and invited guests attended the event that went from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tom Farrelly, Chapter president welcomed the attendees as SIOR board members met with perspective Candidates to discuss the virtues and merits of the SIOR accreditation. The Chapter reserved an area at the Atlantic and hosted the attendees to food and beverages. The Atlantic Beer Garden sits on the Boston Harbor next to Anthony's Pier 4 and offers a great view and location for a summer time event. The restaurant also has numerous sports televisions covering different events. Many of the board members discussed the process to earn the SIOR accreditation and the educational requirements. One of the attendees had relocated from California to Boston and in fact registered the following day for the October SIOR Memphis designation courses. This was a direct result of the Candidates Event as the Chapter is aggressively encouraging qualified applicants for the SIOR accreditation and membership. The Chapter would like to thank Don Mancini for organizing this event.
