For those a bit further out (West, mostly) there is the 495 Networking
Support Group (http://www.495nsg.org).  I believe it's a similar sort of
group, and the website has a searchable database of candidates they've been
marketing to employers (I don't think they're charging).  When I was
looking, that database came in handy and produced a few leads.
