The Olympia Communicators Group is an organization of Olympia, Washington area communicators--professionals in public relations,
public affairs, advertising, marketing, etc., who meet monthly over a brown bag lunch. It's an opportunity to network and
to learn something from guest speakers and each other, without spending much time. There are no dues, no by-laws, or annual
reports. THE KIS (Keep It Simple) Rule applies. Even so, the OCG has now met regularly for over eleven years.
The meetings are held from noon to one on the first Wednesday of each month. Although the locations are not fixed, we most
frequently meet at the Association of Washington School Principals, 8th and Eastside Streets, Olympia, Washington. Changes
are posted in the OCG News Service, this web site or other announcements.
To join the Olympia Communicators Group, send an e-mail to caglels@comcast.net.

THE
NEXT OCG BROWN BAG LUNCH
What: Olympia Communicators Group Brown Bag Lunch
When: Wednesday, August
4, 2010 Where:
Association of Washington School Principals
Topic: Corporate Communications: The Internal Vibe and External Opportunities Speakers: Patti Grant & Genevieve Cancheko Chan, Leadership Thurston County
Great Leaders Make Great Communities
What would our community look like
if we had to rely on the same leaders year after year? Almost 20 years ago, a group of 15 influential leaders from a cross-section
of our community wrestled with that question - and the result was the formation of Leadership Thurston County (LTC). The purpose
of LTC is to help develop informed, skilled and committed community leaders. Since the first graduating class in 1994, nearly
400 graduates from over 200 organizations are making a difference in Thurston County and beyond.
On Aug. 4, communicators are invited to join Leadership Thurston County program coordinator Patti Grant and Genevieve Canceko
Chan, Communications Director from Saint Martin's University and recent LTC grad, to hear about the program and share ideas.
Both Patti and Genevieve are members of the Olympia Communicators Group.
