    RTC Leadership Series Event
	"Financing Alternatives in These Difficult Times...
       				Yes, There is Money to be Had"

    Monday, November 2, 2009, 5 to 7 p.m.
    TD Bank Conference Center 1441 Main St Springfield, MA 01103

    We are pleased to add an additional speaker to our Leadership Event
    sponsored by GesmerUpdegrove.

    We will have Mr. Robert H. Nelson, Massachusetts District Director of
    the US Small Business Administration, to present an update on
    President Obama's announcements about increased SBA loan size limits
    which could have an effect on the RTC member companies.

    The first in the RTC's new Leadership Series, "Financing Alternatives
    in These Difficult Times...Yes, There is Money to be Had" features a
    panel of venture capital experts, including the National Venture
    Director of Ernst & Young. Moderated by Steve Snyder, Partner &
    Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Gesmer Updegrove, this panel of four
    venture capital professionals from the Boston area is an opportunity
    for entrepreneurs from both startups and expansion stage companies to
    hear important perspectives on the venture capital industry. The
    venture capital industry has undergone extensive changes over the last
    few years and more changes to the industry are to come--with resultant
    impacts on entrepreneurial and growing ventures. Industry observers
    have raised questions about whether the venture capital model is
    "broken" and about how much start-up and expansion capital will be
    available in years to come. Whether you're a high tech startup or a
    more mature business looking for equity capital to augment debt in an
    expansion phase--or even a supplier into a growth industry--this panel
    will provide some important perspectives on your economic future. Come
    prepared for a discussion about these issues and how they effect New
    England, the Pioneer Valley, and your business.
