Editor’s Note
Letter from Ryan McNeil

Inside this issue of PBFN Connections, youâll find a mix of business tips and industry announcements. Access the second installment in our three-part series on eMarketing for tips you can use to target your e-mail campaigns. Or, find out how your ability to inspire and coach your employees can raise the performance bar significantly. Inside youâll also find out how to attend two exclusive athlete-run events: the Ninth Annual Playerâs Gala Weekend and the First Annual Barry Bonds Aces 4 Bases Poker Tournament during Spring Training 2007. OT is proud to serve as a media partner to both events.

As an association and a publication for professional athletes, PBFN and OT Magazine are committed to recognizing the accomplishments of those athletes excelling within and outside of sports. Love what you see inside the pages of OT? Have an opinion about a particular article? Are you dissatisfied with our coverage of a certain event, personality or topic? Love it or hate it - we want to hear from you...

I encourage you to check out OT Magazineâs website OT-online.com, which offers dynamic content and interactive features that you canât find within the print pages of OT, plus archives of the back issues of OT so many of you have requested.

And remember, feel free to drop me a note and let me know about specific business topics of interest you would like to learn more about, any suggestions you may have for PBFN or any upcoming events you would like our members and online community to know about.
