I enjoyed them all tremendously, but I&#8217;m glad those two months are behind me. I recently received my scores for some of my speaking engagements.<\/p>\n<p>For the International Association of Business Communicators&#8217; Communicating Social Responsibility Conference conference my session received an average rating of 4.5 out of 5. The rating for the overall conference was 4.2 so I&#8217;m pleased to have surpassed the average. It was a great conference, and nice to speak to a group of people focusing on CSR in their business.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 82px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.azaroff.com\/content\/images\/NetFinance2008_lg.jpg?ssl=1\" class=\"imgbord\" alt=\"Net.Finance EAST\" \/>Net.Finance East took place this past October in New York. It was a great conference, full of great presentations and great participants asking insightful questions. At this conference my average rating on a scale of 1-5 was 4.76 for content and 4.81 for presentation. Those may be my highest marks ever (including high school).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s extremely rewarding to be able to speak at these conferences, share my knowledge, learn a whole lot from the other presenters and attendees and get to bring that knowledge back to Vancity. To be this well received is truly icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 81px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.azaroff.com\/content\/images\/NetFinanceWest.jpg?ssl=1\" class=\"imgbord\" alt=\"Net.Finance West\" \/>2009 will have a lot less speaking engagements for me. Time to focus on my real work at Vancity. I love my job and want to spend more time doing that and not travelling around. I&#8217;ll be at a few, including The Finance 2.0 Summit taking place in New York January 26-27, 2009 and I&#8217;ll be back for another run at the main Net.Finance West taking place April 20-23, 2009 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>See you there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September and October were a whirlwind of speaking engagements.
