    CNN MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: the most fascinating people!

    The CNN membership is a wonderful representation of the world! They are an intriguing cross section of men and women from different states and countries with diverse educations and histories. The people in this organization are humbling and stunning with regard to their experiences and accomplishments. With that in mind, CNN will be focusing a spotlight on our members to share their stories and hope that you enjoy "meeting" the most fascinating people. Here's how it will work. First and foremost, the CNN MEMBERSHIP SPOTLIGHT will only be sent to the membership via email. It will not be placed into the public newsletter. Carrie Brewer will put together the information and Kathy Dierks will do the email blast to the membership. If you would volunteer (please) to be in the spotlight - or you want to volunteer someone contact Carrie at [email protected]. Best Regards, Carrie
