This plan was approved by the IIE Los Angeles Chapter on 11/2/2013 and meets the requirements necessary to maintain Gold status with IIE Headquarters.
Background
We have members in two primary locations: Los Angeles and Orange County. This strategic plan is designed to offer members across the greater Los Angeles area more frequent access to local IIE events.

What is the Professional Development Happy Hour Series?
This ongoing event series brings members together for professional development and fun social evenings. Each professional happy hour will be preceded by a call for questions on the IIE Los Angeles LinkedIn group. Questions will be curated by topic. Events will begin at 6:30pm with a 30 minute facilitated Q&A session at 7:00pm. At 7:30pm, members can choose to continue the discussion in breakout groups or to leave the discussion behind and just hang out.
Look for happy hours in March, April, May, July, August, September, October, and November (see calendar above).
