town square, ankles gently crossed, bare feet, underneath the sycamores, with a 
cool breeze sipping cafe latte while searching the
internet for the latest Cross-town Shoot-out stories.

the Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA) and the Cincinnati Networking
Professionals' Association(CiNPA) as we hear how this is a reality for some

Let's face it: we all like attention and for some of us our livelihood
thrives on it.  Gaining positive press -  that projects the right image -
is one of the most effective and powerful means we can have to boost our
careers, business and personal goals.  For some it has meant overnight
success and significant financial windfalls.  However, how some get this
exposure while others don't can seem a bit mysterious and downright
puzzling.

There is no charge for this meeting if you RSVP to
RSVP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx today!

AMA Luncheon Meeting
"Aroma as a Business Differentiator -
The Power of Scent in Retail"
Register by Tuesday and save $5

No matter the industry, companies are consistently seeking ways to distinguish 
their business from the competition. Can scents be the differentiator to help 
transform your business? The smell of baby power in the infant section of a 
department store. Bringing the rainforest to a children's museum dinosaur 
exhibit. Relaxing ocean fragrances in an MRI facility. Companies in these 
industries and others are using the power of scents as a strategic approach to 
retain and grow their customer base.

Our speaker, David Van Epps, CEO of six-year old ScentAir Technologies, will 
share his perspectives and insights on aroma marketing solutions. He'll delve 
into how unique in-store experiences can be created by engaging memory and 
emotions in a way that strengthens the appeal of any environment. We'll leave 
his presentation with a greater understanding of why scent is considered the 
new frontier in sensory branding.

The luncheon meeting will be held at the Montgomery Inn Banquet Center located 
at 601 E. Pete Rose Way from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The cost is $20 for 
members and $25 for non-members for reservations made by March 14. After March 
14,add $5.

For reservations call the AMA at 513.784.2373

women's business lives in four key areas: networking, professional and personal 
development, business growth and community involvement. Plans call for a 
leadership development program,
women-owned business awards program and a women?s roundtable to achieve these 
goals.

Join us as we introduce these programs with a special kickoff of the Chamber?s 
Women?s Initiative on Tuesday, April 4 from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at the Hall of 
Mirrors downtown in the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel. Hear new

Chamber Board Director Janet B. Reid, Ph.D., as they discuss their experiences 
climbing the corporate ladder. And take an active role by sharing your own 
stories and needs to help us set the
agenda for our women?s programs throughout 2006.

The cost is only $30 for members/$60 nonmembers and includes breakfast.

I have attached an invitation to this important event. Please pass it on to the 
women both inside and outside your organization whom you feel can most benefit 
from this opportunity to share, learn and bond.

Cybercrime on the Rise
In the past, cyber attacks were largely designed to destroy data, but
 today's attacks are increasingly designed to silently steal data for
 profit without doing system damage that would be noticeable to a user,
 according to the latest Symantec Internet Security Threat Report.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/49225.html

_____________________________
The Intellectual Property Pitfalls of Enterprise IT
 Last Friday -- essentially the eleventh hour of a years-long lawsuit --
 Research In Motion reached a US$612.5 million settlement with NTP,
 relieving legions of customers who have come to feel they cannot
 possibly last very long without their BlackBerries. The larger issues
 the battle illuminated, though, are still quite alive.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/49258.html

_____________________________
New Alerts Aim to Simplify Web Shopping
 Looking for new ways to reach consumers, retailers like eBags, ICE.com,
 TowerRecords.com and others are using RSS, or "really simple
 syndication," to feed product alerts to Internet users who have set up
 personalized Web pages on Yahoo, Google and other sites.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/49239.html

_____________________________
Majority of Web Sites Lack Search Savvy
 A majority of Web sites fail to meet the search desires of their
 visitors, according to a report prepared by Cambridge, Mass.-based
 research firm Forrester Research. Moreover, some 13 percent of European
 consumers say they'll bolt from a Web site if they can't find what they
 want at the location immediately, the report noted.

E-Marketing for Tech-Savvy Retailers
E-mail and SMS (short message service) campaigns tied to customer-loyalty 
programs are proving to be successful for tech-savvy retailers that take the 
time to capture customer info.

_____________________________
The Business Case for RFID
Wal-Mart did more than just install RFID readers to scan cartons. Instead, it 
revised its work process for managing inventory. Rather than send employees 
through the aisles to inspect shelves visually, it used RFID to automate the 
entire process.
