The Hollywood Networking Breakfast® is happy to report we have implemented an exciting new feature to create a new and improved breakfast experience for attendees:

PRIVATE LUNCH OR MEETING WITH GUEST SPEAKER (See below)

PRIVATE LUNCH OR MEETING: Changing Images is about promoting diversity in the entertainment industry. The Hollywood Networking Breakfast® is about providing networking opportunities and access to top Hollywood players. Whenever possible, we will arrange to have our Guest Speaker spend one-on-one time with a lucky attendee.

NOTE: The private one-on-one meeting with a guest speaker from the Hollywood Networking Breakfast® is not a regular feature. This opportunity is available only when the speaker has agreed to accommodate our request to meet privately with a "promising" breakfast attendee. We will let you know which speakers are able to participate, when we have that information, so check your breakfast notices carefully.?

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES TO WIN AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A ONE-ON-ONE MEETING WITH A BREAKFAST GUEST SPEAKER (I.E. TO SHADOW, HAVE A PRIVATE MEETING, OR "DO LUNCH") PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Guest speakers at the Hollywood Networking Breakfast® and all of Sandra Lord's events are accessible. This may be all you need at this point -- to attend the event and have the opportunity when time permits to meet and greet our guests, chat a minute, and set the foundation to later follow up with them, with a view to nurturing a relationship.

Wanting to meet privately with a guest speaker simply to "pick his or her brain" is not reason enough for this opportunity. Our guest speakers are professionals of the highest caliber with extremely hectic schedules, who want to give their time to someone who is "ready." Therefore, this this unique opportunity to meet privately with a a guest speaker or panelist is open only to promising writers, producers, directors, actors and others with decent credits, who need -- and are prepared for -- a "leg up" to get to the next level. The private one-on-one meetings are not for beginners. Please bear that in mind when you submit.

CRITERIA:
Send us your resume, photo, business card and a note (a paragraph of 10 lines or less) telling us why you would like to meet with a particular panelist and why you feel you are the best candidate for this opportunity.

If you have already sent us your check and would like to be considered for this unique opportunity, you can still send us your information, postmarked by the check postmark deadlines. Our Hollywood Networking Breakfast® team will review the submissions and decide upon the lucky candidate. We will provide you with contact information for the guest speaker, but you will be responsible for following-up and scheduling your private meeting.

MEETING:
Private networking time with a guest speaker or panelist will be in the form of a lunch meeting, a general meeting at his or her office or shadowing him or her for part of a day – whichever is more convenient for the guest speaker/panelist. Note: If you want to be considered for a lunch meeting and you meet the criteria, you must be prepared to host – that is, pick up the tab for lunch.

WHAT WE ASK IN RETURN:
The only thing we ask in return for this valuable opportunity we are providing is, after you’ve met with the guest speaker or panelist, to send us feedback (in the form of a note/letter), within one week of your meeting…and kindly keep us updated as to any resultant developments.

NOTE: Meeting with the guest speakers for the Hollywood Networking Breakfast® is not a regular feature. This opportunity is available only when the speaker has agreed to accommodate our request to meet privately with a "promising" breakfast attendee. We will let you know which speakers are able to participate, when we have that information, so check your breakfast notices carefully. BEST OF WISHES!
