• • Thursday Morning Dialogue has filled a void that I did not even realize existed. It has given me an opportunity to build new friendships, broaden my intellectual horizons, gain inspiration and expand my professional network. Any one of these is reason enough to get up early one morning a month!

• • What a great group of dynamic, upbeat, strong women to greet first thing on a Thursday morning!

• • I enjoy TMD tremendously, for two reasons. One is that the speakers are generally very interesting and introduce me to a variety of topics. The second reason is nearly more important: meeting and getting to know the members of TMD is a real asset in my life. All our members are impressive on a professional / accomplishment level and interesting and appealing on a personal level.

• • One of the things that makes Thursday Morning Dialogue different, and better, than other clubs I’ve been in is (that) we go around the room saying something about ourselves—sharing with the group. These tidbits, pieced together over the year we’ve been meeting, have brought people out in a way that the typical speaker-oriented group can’t do.

• • Thursday Morning Dialogue has been a very special opportunity to meet fun, creative, and interesting women outside my normal professional or personal circle. The speakers provide a much-needed opportunity to think about issues beyond our daily lives—the world, politics, philosophy, art, etc. It’s a way to stay in touch with a liberal arts education—with people you like and only a one-morning a month commitment.

• • The group’s questions and reactions to the speakers are as interesting as the speakers themselves. My horizons have expanded greatly in the last year, thanks to Thursday Morning Dialogue.

    If the status quo found out how stimulating this group was, I’m sure they would want to find a way to make it illegal!

• • Thursday Morning Dialogue gives me a chance to meet women from many different professions and walks of life many of whom I would not have had the chance to meet otherwise. I feel my life has been enriched by our group’s members. We seem to go beyond just career issues to life issues of mutual concern and interest. I look forward to Thursday Morning Dialogue gatherings. They prove that ambition and a warm, supportive environment are not mutually exclusive. Thursday Morning Dialogue is a perfect antidote to our fast-paced and too often unconnected lives.

• • The speakers are inspiring and the members are amiable and supportive. I enjoy being a member of the TMD community.

    —Karen Janowski

• • I look forward to TMD every month for the warm atmosphere, the contact with good friends and the fabulous speakers. I particularly appreciate the range of speakers who make me think about things I might not have otherwise – from sailing around the world solo to running a major non-profit to how to prepare for earthquakes.

    —Tracy Weatherby

• • Carole Leigh was a wonderful speaker – and a great reminder of the power of authenticity to impact people. Some of what she shared was news to me. I left the meeting with a passion to help the situation.

    —Erin Liman
