Hello, I'm Jorge A Vallejos and currently working as a Director of Convention Planning in Elkhart, IN. I am joining the Chicago chapter because it's closest to me and I spend as much time as I can there. Great city!! I enjoy reading all types of books but enjoy business books best. My last good read was "The Speed of Trust" by Covey Jr. I enjoy meeting new people, tasting new foods and traveling to new lands. If I could choose to have dinner with someone it would be Winston Churchill.

3. [Anything by P.J. O'Rourke] My favorite is "Parliament of Whores."
