TROY ? Phil Rosette, Vice President of Group 41 eBusiness Consultants, joined GLIMASoutheast this year to network with other business professionals. He couldn?t be more pleased with his decision.

?Attending the events and functions, and saying you?re involved in GLIMA, it?s lead to a lot of design talent and houses coming to me on the marketing side,?? Rosette said. ?They want to design the web site, but know their customers will be turned over to someone who will treat them right. GLIMA has been very effective in helping me do that.?

Rosette has been in marketing since the 1970s and involved in search engine marketing since 1995. Last year, he bought Netastic.Net, an ISP focused on small business. His other claim to fame is he is a published author. Late last year, Rosette published The Freya Project, a sci-fi thriller set in the high-tech industry of Southeast Michigan.
