Hi,

Wondering if anyone is interesting in going to see Carly Fiorina, should be really interesting:

Speaker: Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett-Packard from 1999-2005

"Tough Choices:  A Memoir"

This is the second of our three-part "Women of Vision" series jointly sponsored with the Greenwich Library Peterson Business Program Series.

As CEO of Hewlett Packard, Carly Fiorina led the company through drastic changes and a controversial merger, confirming her status as one of the most powerful women in corporate America.  Carly will talk about her new book, Tough Choices, and what it's like to lead a major corporation in a time of great change, providing her unique perspective on leadership, globalization, sexism and her sudden firing by the HP board of directors in 2005.

Since the YMCA site and the Library link indicate different start times, I presume being completely seated by 6:30pm won't hurt.

To get there, take Metro North from Grand Central to Greenwich. The ride is about 1 hour; tickets are about $10-16 with tax:

Here's a map from the Metro North Greenwich stop to the library. Seems like it's within walking distance.:

I'm thinking that to be in CT and walking to the library not much later than 4:00pm should get good timing and provide a decent choice of seating. It'll probably be cold, so dress appropriately (the train is unforgiving)

Drop me a line privately if your interesting in joining me or you can call them and confirm for yourself.
