Robert will discuss personal safety as well as issues like bullies in the workplace. If you plan to attend, please consider bringing a small cash donation for Robert. (We suggest $5.) Robert does this work because he believes in it and since we are not a dues collecting organization, we cannot offer a stipend, so are looking to you all to help Her Domain show Robert our collective appreciation.

FEBRUARY MEETING FOR HERDOMAIN
The February Meeting is being held in conjunction with and hosted by the Marcom SIG group BIG thanks to Mimi and Laura Time: 7:00-8:00 p.m., Monday, February 22. Place: Meeting Room 2, the Carver Branch of the Austin Public Library, Angelina at Rosewood, East Austin near downtown. Ample parking available. Directions from downtown Austin: Take 11th St. east of I-35 about one-half mile to the first stop light. The road forks three ways at the light -- follow the center fork onto Rosewood, then follow Rosewood to Angelina, the second street on the left. The Carver Library is on the SE corner of the intersection. When you spot a vivid mural on a giant wall, you're there. For directions from other points, please call the library at 472-8954. "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" asks alpha male Henry Higgins in the musical, "My Fair Lady." More to the point, must an ambitious professional woman try to be more like a man to succeed? Or does she bring a unique set of talents to her career? Marketing management consultant Laura Ricci will consider these questions -- and provide some answers grounded in workplace realities -- in a special mini-seminar for HD members called Grrl Power, How It Can Get You...And Get Your Career Moving, scheduled for Monday evening, Feb. 22. Every woman in the Her Domain network is welcome to attend the seminar, hosted by the HD Marketing Communications SIG. And the Grrl Power seminar is free of charge. Why attend the Grrl Power seminar? HD member Laura Ricci has been inventing solutions as a marketing manager for the last 20 years. As principal of R3, she is a marketing mentor for organizations, builds business-to-business campaigns for high technology companies, and trains engineers, scientists and others to successfully market their products and services. In her research and consulting practice, Laura has found women and men tend to have very different working styles based on their gender pattern behaviors. And these differences can cause conflicts, shred productivity, and sacrifice opportunity. What's a woman to do? Examine her working style, for starters. During the Grrl Power seminar, Laura will discuss strengths and drawbacks of four female vs. male pattern traits:
Laura will explore how you can balance and integrate these seemingly contrary tendencies in professional settings. She'll also explain why you SHOULD NOT stifle your natural talents and try to adopt too many male pattern behaviors. The seminar develops some of the documented research, strategies, and management solutions Laura and coauthor George Wilkerson present in their book, "12 Views from Women's Eyes: Managing the New Majority." Gain some insight into gender pattern behaviors, learn how to deal with workplace realities, or simply enjoy some food for thought and the companionship of like-minded women at the Grrl Power seminar. Reservations please: Laura plans to provide handouts, so we need a rough head count beforehand. Please e-mail your reservation to Mimi Mayer cochair of the HD Marketing Communication SIG, by noon on Mon., Feb 22. The room seats 40 people. Thanks and see you Monday evening! Mimi Mayer, HD MarCom SIG Cochair Additional Notes: Praise for "12 Views from Women's Eyes: Managing The New Majority!" by Laura Ricci & George Wilkerson

Dr. Autumn Grubb, Morehead State College JANUARY MEETING FOR HERDOMAIN
Meeting date/place changed for 1999 Dear Her Domainers: On Monday, January 25 at 7 pm at the Twin Oaks Library we will have our first meeting of 1999. It will be a business meeting and I am personally asking each of you -- who possibly can -- to attend. Her Domain made some great strides in 1998. We formed a steering committee, made the choice to "go it on our own" and had some fine programs thanks in no small part to the ingenuity of the Her Domain Board of Directors and to Donna Kidwell in particular. We held a kick-ass event in conjunction with SXSW and got a bit of PR on KUT's program, Tech Ranch. Most recently, thanks to the energy and time and talent of Nancy Avitia, we now have a host of SIGs to meet the diverse needs of our group. In addition, we worked diligently toward our goal of incorporating our group. That goal, while very close, is just a little further down the road. We see 1999 as a wonderful year with lots of promise. We are pulling together a fascinating panel of speakers for the upcoming SXSW conference (thanks again in no small way to Donna K.), gearing up to have a social event in conjunction with SXSW, have plans for a special presentation on self defense, are looking forward to a visit from Julie Gomol of Excite! along with a few other cool presentations! Having said all that, Her Domain needs just one thing to keep moving ahead and making the listserv a wonderful place for all of us. WE NEED YOU. Due to some attrition, a pregnancy and a couple of "retirements", the board is currently in need of a president. And, we could use a couple of stalwart board members, willing to put a bit of time and a lot of heart behind this great group. Please strongly consider making a personal contribution to this group this year, if it's at all possible. We need volunteers for the board, for SXSW -- both event organization and booth "tending", and for assisting on lots of little behind-the-scenes stuff that needs doing throughout the year. Even if you aren't sure you can contribute your time to these activities, please set aside a couple of hours on Monday, January 25 to attend the monthly meeting, show your support, and be there IN PERSON to hear the "year-end" report on 1998. Details of the meeting are listed below.
When: Monday, January 25, 7:00 pm sharp* Where: Twin Oaks Library, corner of S. Congress and Oltorf behind Rosie's Tamales Bring: Yourself and your heart * Please note that this month we WILL NOT have an orientation at 6:30 pm before the meeting. Thanks!
