A Message from President Lou Ann Alexander, January 13, 2014
Fellow Rotarians,
Our speaker this week is Jude Barry who is the founder of Catapult Strategies. He has worked in national politics, California campaigns, and local government as a top-level strategist and manager. In addition, he has advised Fortune 500 companies, political candidates, non-profit organizations, and the San Francisco 49ers. He is also the co-founder of Verafirma, a technology company that is pioneering the use of electronic signatures for government and politics. The company introduced technology that allows voters to register to vote or sign initiatives on an iPhone or iPad. Its technology has been called the “next big thing” in grassroots politics.
Also this week, we have our World’s Greatest Happy Hour on Thursday, January 16th from 5:30-7:00PM at Justin’s Restaurant, 1285 Homestead Rd, Santa Clara.
