Hello everyone,

Our next Nevada Value Chapter meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8:00 PM on Monday, March 17, 2008, at the Summerlin Library located at 1771 Inner Circle Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89134. The library's phone number is
702.507.3863. Refreshments and finger foods will be provided. Head west on Summerlin Parkway and exit on Town Center Drive heading northeast. The library is just beyond the first roundabout. See the map link for more detail.

We have finalized our Chapter's program as shown in the attachments. During the coming 9 months, we will follow the Value Methodology Job Plan and lead you through an actual Value Engineering case study. We hope to give those of you who are new to Value Engineering some useful hands-on experience and
knowledge, and we hope that those of you who are veterans of Value Engineering will share with us your own successful methods. The Case Study we have selected is attached below.

Please note that this program is free to attend and you are welcome to bring guest(s). We strongly recommend that you do not pass up this golden opportunity to learn and share Value Engineering.

Please review the information linked below prior to the meeting so that you will get the maximum benefit from the process. If you have any questions regarding this material or our up coming meeting, call Steve Parikh at 702-227-5512 or Daniel Gonzalez at 321-1543.

Hope to see you on March 17th for our very own local Value Engineering chapter meeting. Don't forget to wear green!
Daniel A. Gonzalez, AVS
NVC Secretary
