Submitted by ub on

Next week, NYC Transportation Committee Chair James Vacca will convene a committee hearing to discuss road conditions around New York City. The winter of 2010-2011 saw a dramatic spike in the number of potholes, and while the number of potholes is down this year, it still takes nearly a week--6.8 days--to fill a single pothole, according to the Preliminary Mayor's Management Report.

The Committee also expects to discuss the merits of using recycled asphalt to pave city streets, as the Department of Transportation expands recycled asphalt operations at its new plant in Queens.

VALUABLE NETWORKING TIPS

Remember that networking is always a two way street. We aren't just there to get something; we're there to learn what we can give. This is a gift for everyone involved. What can we contribute?

Tell your story. You will be asked who you are and why you are in attendance. Have your elevator speech ready, and give it with energy.

Know what to say. Sports events, major news cycles, the success of the event, the beauty of an item of jewelry, the quality of the hors d'oevres. Even owning your nervousness. Can be endearing.
