I wonder if it would be possible to search Proz member companies by location--not just country, but (for large countries at least, like the U.S.A.), by a smaller region.

Advanced directory May 15, 2009

Hi Susan,

You could try to use the advanced directory, typing in i.e. project management or sales. It lets you add state and I think city as well.
If not you could use Google and specify state to delimit. I live in the DC area myself, and have a couple of names if you like =)

Happy weekend!

Lise
