PLTG's October Book Slam

Celebrate National Book Month with PLTG!

The Book Slam three-person panel will share the profound impact the selected books can have on your career and well-being. This is an opportunity to gain valuable insights, network with peers, and discover new resources that can elevate your professional journey.

In addition to the books selected by our panelists, we've added Jay Sullivan's "The New Nimble" to the list, as he used it as source material for our July meeting.

We encourage members to select a book from the reading list, and PLTG will cover the cost.

To get a free book before the October Book Slam:

Email Treasurer Carol Gerber cjgerber@cooley.com with your snail mail address for a physical book or email address associated with your preferred eBook platform.
Include the title of the book you want and your full name.

You can wait and attend the Book Slam to learn more about each book before making your selection. Make sure to email Carol to request your free book by October 31, 2024.
