*** NEW: Transition Networking Group ***

For those retail executives that are seeking new employment opportunities, we have formed the DFW REA Transition Networking Group.  This group will meet monthly to encourage networking and sharing of job leads and contacts as well as give participants a chance to “prospect” for new opportunities.  The group should provide you an avenue to widen your sphere of contacts in the retail world in DFW.  For more information, please contact Chris Holland at (817) 948-2839 or CJholland55@hotmail.com
