MEMBERSHIP IN THE

 FLORIDA ALL-MEDIA

EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE

The Roundtable is in its 62th year,  40 years in New York City and beginning its 22th in Sarasota Florida.

Here are the basics of THE GEORGE ALLEN  FLORIDA ALL-MEDIA EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE :

1. Participants should be current or former operating executives, of any age, in radio, TV, cable, newspapers, film, magazines, books, music, theater -- all of the varied "arts."

2. Unstructured: no dues, no officers, no elections, no bylaws, no standup speakers (we converse while seated), no business office, no budget goals, no promotion mailings, but a single e-mailing of all the dates for the year in midsummer. We use e-mail to communicate throughout the season,

3. No hidden purpose, only across-the-table discussions among executives, contributors and participants from different media backgrounds.  We are not a "networking" group, but many lasting friendships are made.

4. All luncheons are Dutch Treat, cash on closing (this year $22). There's no hidden sponsor, minimal overhead is included.

5.  You must let us know when you want a reservation. There's often a waiting list, so please cancel if you cannot fill your reservation

6. Media guests are welcome and encouraged.  Advance reservations for guests are necessary. Once a guest, you are automatically a member. Once a member, always a member.  Guests will need to get a brief biography to us in time to print in the program.  (Limited to 140 characters including name - please submit by e-mail.   Since the club has no dues or bank account who pays for your guest's lunch is between you and your guest.  But, The Roundtable does not!

7. The Roundtable expects and welcomes participation from all over Florida, the U.S. and Canada and world.

9. Desired membership proportions  are:  a mixture of the actively employed the semi retired, consultants and fully retired.

10. Some people may attend once a season, some once a month, some only one meeting; but we do need your address and phone number and especially e-mail address for the annual mailing of meeting dates.
