We Can Never Get Enough Cool ...

Cool people like to surround themselves with other cool people. So, at Valorem, we instituted "Lunch with a Cool Person." It's an informal session over lunch in our Bored Room where the guest of honor is asked questions (okay, grilled politely) about various aspects of their cool being.

Because we always like to take what we learn and apply it to what we are doing for our clients (and prospective clients), we always talk about client service or about other aspects of the Cool Person's life/job/world that will be applicable to the client service we provide or to our particular cases. Cool, huh?

Think you are cool enough for us?

If you think you are cool enough to make the "featured guest list" (see column to the right), then give us a (virtual) holler. Email the Gatekeeper for Lunch With a Cool Person. But we warn you...our coolness bar is a high one. Amateurs need not apply.

Yup, they're cool?
