About John Fletcher:  John Fletcher ? The Fletch ? is known as a connector, someone who can help you find a speaker for your organization?s monthly meeting or annual banquet or introduce you to someone important to you. If he doesn?t know the person you need, he knows someone who does know that person.
 
On Thursday, January 20, he?ll show us how to raise the level of our influence that can benefit us as individuals and in our business.
