Monmouth Network (MN077) was formed in 2001 by Lester Martin to assist friends who were at risk...It has grown in size and diversity.

* many of the members live or work in Monmouth County, NJ,

* most of the members are involved in networking, either LAN or Telecom networking,

* we are all interested in being involved in an active networking environment with other professionals in the fields.

* While some of the members are actively looking for new job opportunities, most of the members are not at this time but may be looking in the future.

* All of the members are key professionals in the industries that define, manage, sell, implement, or otherwise drive the Telecom industry today. Members are employees of various companies around NJ including AT&T, Lucent, Avaya, Tellium, Merrill Lynch, Deuthe Telekom, VARs, consultants, contractors, and other professional situations.

* At this time, there are not many telecom customers or CPE vendors active in the group but that may change over time as many vendors are being invited to the upcoming Networking session.

There is no fee to join MN or to get on the distribution lists for job ads, MN newsletters, etc. although we just started charging a small fee for the meetings.

We do have contacts in many areas outside of NJ as well although most are not members of MN. This includes Austin, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Houston, Connecticut and many other cities.
