Meeting Notes
February 1998 Meeting
Telecommuting
George Cassidy 
Tanner Corporate Services hosted a well-attended session on telecommuting.
George Cassidy, whose work at Tanner includes managing telecommuters,
did an excellent job of researching and presenting the topic. Pete Larson,
a Tanner employee who telecommutes from his home in Missoula, Montana,
made a special "ghost" appearance via speaker phone to discuss
his life as as a telecommuter.
Pete also provided his top nine keys for successful telecommuting:
- Take the time to communicate.
- Be clear about expectations.
- Take the time to relate.
- Stick to schedules.
- Give advance warnings.
- Take the time to set up your workspace.
- Make sure you have the necessary infrastructure.
- Structure your workday.
- If at all possible, show your face regularly.

the February edition
of Communique, our chapter's newsletter, includes an
article on telecommuting by Shannon Thurman, our chapter's president.
