With a slight adjustment to your outlook and timeframe you can still soar through your career management and job search with patience and positivity. 

It's essential to stay "Tip of Mind" with your network. From conducting "Informational Interviews," to nailing the executive job interview, or landing a new board role with a reputable company, it's all about having the right mindset.

Chapter Description

Welcome to the San Diego Chapter of The Financial Executives Networking Group (FENG), with almost 700 members, including San Diego residents and many remote members. We meet monthly via Zoom and give participants an opportunity to introduce themselves and provide speakers on topics relevant to financial executives.

This chapter draws from a deep and geographically diverse pool of senior management talent and financial disciplines. Out-of-town residents with an active interest in San Diego are welcome to join and attend any events.

Each San Diego meeting on zoom offers one CPE credit if you attend the majority of the meeting. Please write to Jim Carr for more information. Jim Carr,

Job Clubs are also available for those in active search mode - You have a unique and invaluable opportunity to connect with others, share insights and collaborate on innovative solutions to today’s challenges of job search. Through in-depth discussions with other FENG members interested in similar financial roles, you will stay updated on industry trends, exchange best practices, learn about new technology and create meaningful connections with other finance leaders in your club.

Although we do have an army of volunteers, we still need cash to support our considerable out-of-pocket expenses. If you can afford to, please make a voluntary contribution from time to time - Any amount you can contribute is fine. We do not seek to create a financial burden for anyone - Donate what you can and when you can.
